Kantha Reversible Jacket
About this product
This colourful jacket has been made from beautifully embroidered fabrics and best of all it can be worn two ways! It is fully reversible, with two side pockets no matter which way it is styled. Kantha is one of the oldest and most cherished forms of embroidery, originating from the heart of India. Women from all rural classes practice this time-honoured craft, infusing each piece with their skill and passion. The name "Kantha" refers to both the unique style of running stitch and the finished work of art. Our Kantha items are not just beautiful garments; they are a testament to sustainability and creativity. They are crafted from recycled cotton saris, which gives each piece a character of its own. You may see some small patches incorporated into the flow of the garment, these should not be considered flaws but rather a distinctive feature of the fabric. They represent the part of the journey that this fabric has already completed, a connection to the past and a renewal of its purpose. All Kantha textiles will predominantly feature vibrant shades of oranges and yellows, owing to their unique origin from recycled cotton saris. These warm and cheerful hues are a reflection of the traditional attire favoured by Indian women, making them an integral part of Kantha designs.

Why might products vary?
Many of our products are made by small producers who lack the resources to buy materials in bulk or they use recycled items, therefore products are often made from what is available.
For example, if you’re buying a crochet purse, the cotton is bought at the local market, so the makers are limited to the colours available on the day. Or if you’re buying an item made in patchwork or from recycled Sari, makers are limited to the colours and patterns that they’re given.
It all adds to the uniqueness of your lovely Siesta product!
