Timeline:
4-5 weeks, after receiving your sarees.
We use your sarees to make the kantha stitch blankets / bedcovers. The sarees are stitched back to back to make a blanket and then embellished with kantha stitch hand embroidery. This is an age old craft of using old sarees and up-cycling them into beautiful blankets.
Your blankets are made by women living in villages of West Bengal, who have been practising this craft in their communities for generations. Your support helps Indian crafts and local communities.
