It features lovely, decorative stitching in different colours. Your little one will love snuggling up in this soft cotton blanket!

Our newly stitched Kantha blankets are produced by women in Meherpur, Bangladesh, in cooperation with Tripty Boutique, a socially responsible enterprise. Tripty Boutique is a subsidiary of the NGO Center for Development and Peace, on sale which strives to empower the most vulnerable and at-risk women and children by providing them with a livelihood. By purchasing one of our Kantha products, you directly support a woman in need in Bangladesh. Learn more at www.triptyboutique.com.

Kantha quilts consist of several layers of recycled saris held together by a simple running "Kantha" stitch that is applied row after row and gives the textile its unique, slightly wavy texture. This kind of embroidery is popular with the rural women of Bangladesh and West Bengal. It can take weeks to create one of these wonderful textile pieces, each one of a kind, each carrying the distinct handwriting of its creator's craft(wo)manship.

Material: cotton

Measurements: about 102 x 92cm or 40 x 36 inches (may vary a little from blanket to blanket)

Weight: about 440 grams

Care instructions: machine-wash with gentle cycle

Please bear in mind that this quilt is made from recycled textiles. Even though we do our best to avoid them, it may show some small imperfections, such as staining, patches, mended spots, loose threads or peeling sari layers.
