Kantha Bed Cover, #9 - 53"x56"
For centuries in India and Bangladesh, Bengali women stitched together old saris and cloth scraps to form blankets and cushions called Kanthas, the Sanskrit word for rags. Traditionally, they believed that old pieces of cloth protected them from harm, so these quilts/bed covers provided a vital purpose.
We make our bed covers with leftover little swatches of handwoven cotton used for apparel production. They are lightweight due to their origin but endure.
