Vintage Kantha Quilts

Introducing our exquisite Vintage Kantha Quilts, a true celebration of artistry, sustainability, and global impact. Made from used and vintage saris, these quilts are one-of-a-kind treasures—no two are alike. Each quilt is created by layering two saris and stitching them together using a traditional Kantha technique, a running stitch that adds texture and durability while preserving the fabric’s history. These quilts have been pre-washed, though due to the nature of the vintage fabrics, colors may still bleed slightly when washed.

Kantha Quilts are a timeless form of Indian textile art, where fabrics are repurposed and revived through intricate hand-stitching. Originating from the rural regions of West Bengal and Bangladesh, this method of upcycling saris has been passed down through generations of women, who transform old fabrics into beautiful, functional works of art.

These sizes are approximate and vary with each quilt:
Width: 55 inches
Length: 85 inches

By purchasing one of these unique quilts, you’re not only embracing a piece of cultural heritage but also supporting the Indian Everett Mission a cause close to our hearts. Alison's parents have supported this mission during their travels, offering much-needed medical and dental aid around the world.. Part of the proceeds from these quilts go directly back to support women in India, empowering them financially and contributing to their well-being. Alison’s parents have visited and worked with the Everett Mission, providing essential medical and dental aid globally, and these quilts further this mission of helping communities in need.

**Due to the nature of the vintage and repurposed fabrics, you may notice some small holes, irregularities, or signs of wear in the Kantha Quilts—all of which add to their charm and tell the story of their previous life as saris. These imperfections make each piece even more unique and reflect the quilt's journey through time. Additionally, the sizes of the quilts can vary greatly, offering a wide range of possibilities for different sewing projects, from coats and jackets to home decor or quilting. These variations are part of what makes each Kantha Quilt truly one-of-a-kind.
