Kantha, a term now widely known, originates from a domestic form of quilting in Bengal. Women would stitch together old dhotis or sarees using the simple yet sustainable running stitch to create a kantha or quilt. This practice, deeply rooted in tradition, has evolved into the exquisite embroidery seen today.
The Gaatha collection features sarees that celebrate this timeless craft, with each piece carrying a narrative of culture and tradition. The dedication and skill of the artisans shine through in every stitch, preserving the heritage and artistry of Kantha embroidery for future generations.
