SHE KANTHA
Kantha’s roots are in Eastern India—Bengal in particular—and it evolved from a method of mending and recycling fabrics into a decorative art, depicting scenes from everyday life as well as graphic motifs. Over the years, kantha faded from favor and was mostly known by audiences outside India as a straight stitch used to turn recycled saris into quilts. The women of SHE are not only keeping the kantha technique alive, but infusing it with renewed vitality and creativity that’s earned recognition around the world.
