Inspired from the artistic influence of Japanese art of patching of old KIMONO fabrics to recycle and sewn together with beautiful coordinates of colors, cutting the better part of many different kimonos.

Our founder Ms Mieko Mintz says I've been making beautiful patches for kantha with local artisans in Bengal for many years. My collection always aims to be all soft to the touch of skin and even visually also it must be a comfortable drape.

The textiles made of Fray patches gives a wonderful organic feeling, feeling of someone’s love to these handed-down small pieces. These were once used with love. These fray patches are much softer than regular patch. The seams are not sewn in, it's sewn out which make it so much softer.

Not only the feeling but looks are also very natural to me. People are usually afraid fraying the fabric but this kantha technique sustain the fragile piece of fabric for ever. It’s amazing finishing style we learned and developed and mastered over years in the Mieko Mintz clothing line.

This collection has a thin layer of Wool wadding along with four layers of cotton and silk recycled vintage saris for Bed Covers and Throws. All the patches are articulately placed hand stitched with threads of tonal shades deliberately leaving edges to fray. These luxuriously soft touch bed cover is having quarter of a million hand running stitches that gives a beautiful puckering surface.

The look is graphic with a home spun feel and minimalist aesthetics.

Sari is the way of life for most parts in India. The amazing five-meter piece is one of the oldest form of clothing on planet earth learn more.

Kantha gets more and more beautiful as it becomes older and smaller. It is an endless game learn more.

KANTHA means simple stitching in Hindi. For more than 400 years, KANTHA quilts have been made in Bengal, India using many layers of old saris. Each is unique.

Hand Wash

Use a delicate care detergent in cold water without soaking, as this might release some dye. Press and wash without rubbing. Rinse the Kantha garment without wringing.

Machine Wash

Use a delicate care detergent in cold water, placing the Kantha garment in a mesh bag and washing it with a low-spin or delicate cycle. This will prevent snagging or twisting during the machine cycles.

Dry

Place the Kantha garment on a large, dry towel and roll it up to absorb excess moisture. Then lay the garment flat on a drying rack or hang it to air dry.

Hand Steamer / Iron

A hand steamer would be ideal, but if you are using an iron, avoid holding it directly against the garment and applying pressure. Keep the iron a few inches away from the garment and use only steam pressure.

We offer a ‘Lifetime Repair’ along with the product.
Mieko Mintz encourages Reuse, Repair and Recycle.
