Kantha Button Jacket

Stand out from the crowd in our beautiful embroidered kantha jacket. Made from recycled cotton sarees, it has small coconut buttons, an attractive collar and a hanky hem style cut. As it is a longer length it could even be worn over leggings as a shirt-dress outfit. 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.
