A fab jacket made from repurposed kantha quilts from Northern India. This is a very high quality kantha. Kantha is s technique by which many thin layer of fabric are hand stitched together to make a light quilted blanket. Often old saris and dhotis are the materials used in making them. These blankets have been repurposed for use in these garments.
Please not that this one has NO BELT LOOPS
After a recent trip to India I am very much in love with kantha. Not so much the pieces that I have seen widely available in the states, but the ones like this jacket is made from, that are so lovingly and deliberately created and used to a wonderful patina. To me they express love so beautifully.
One size fits most.
38 inches long and about 24 inches wide across the back.
This is a vintage textile and may have some irregularities.
