KANTHA COLLECTION

Kantha is one of the oldest forms of hand embroidery originating from the state of West Bengal. It is one of the most popular styles of hand embroidery and its beauty lies in its simplicity. Just by using simple basic stitches like running stitch and satin stitch Kantha artisans create motifs and patterns which are truly marvellous.

Kantha embroidery widely uses motifs like flowers, animals, trees, objects, people, geometric shapes on cotton or silk fabric. Using these design elements numerous unique patterns can be visualized and brought to life. Imagination is the key here as Kantha embroidery does not restrict the artist to any particular design. If you have it in your mind it can be brought to life by the magical hands of karigars using simple tools like a thread and needle.
