Kantha Sari

Description

Some handcrafted work is so intricate that it actually appears to be a stunning painting & a sheer joy to look at! This is the beauty of this Kantha saree. The saree on pure tussar silk base comes with intricate ‘reverse’ kantha stitch work resulting in exquisite floral and bird motifs in a riot of color. This is the ultimate day-wear saree and is bound to set you apart in any crowd!

A beautiful fabric, often created by masterfully weaving together different fabrics to create a distinct look characterized by its colorful, wrinkled and wavy avatar. A piece of art in many ways, Kantha tells a story of creativity, imagination, and care. Kantha, or the running stitch, is an indigenous household craft that was pioneered by the women in rural West Bengal. The Kantha weave is meant to tell a story, in that one is unlikely to find two similar pieces of original Kantha.

In many ways, the heritage-laden Kantha has been adapted to suit the modern-day and appeal to a larger audience, spread across the country. From shawls to pillowcases to hats to bedsheets, Kantha has cleverly evolved, making it a classic and yet effective way to make a genuine style statement.
