How can you know which is the best? 

Is the value worth the cost?

Here are some guidelines to keep in mind as you shop for kantha:

 

  • Thickness : Each layer of sari cloth is very thin (imagine a soft muslin for a baby swaddle), so if there are only 2 layers, the blanket will be very light. Which would be fine as throw however need atleast 3 layers for a thicker quilt.
    • Our kantha quilts are made with 2-3 layers of sari cloth. The final product is still thin, not bulky, but definitely as "hefty" as kantha. They are light, but provide a good warmth, as well.

 

  • Stitching : How dense do you expect the running stitches to be? A blanket with very tight, close stitching will have a more stiff, substantial feel than stitching that is farther apart.
    • The standard stitches on our kantha run approximately 2 cm apart

 

  • Edge Stitching : This is where a more inexpensively produced, lower quality kantha will reveal itself. A well-made kantha should have a straight edge, with a kantha stitch right up to the edge, preventing any fraying or interior cloth coming out. 
    • Our kantha are stitched with precision all around!

 

  • Color / Fading : Keep in mind that if a kantha quilt features faded or very pastel colors, it is more likely that the fabric has been more frequently washed, or is old, however kantha stitches provides them more strength and solidity . Women in Bangladesh (who are originally wearing these saris) love color & vibrance, so these are what you will (should) mostly find with authentic kantha blankets.

 

  • Cost : Of course, we are all cost-conscious. But, there is a large amount of labor involved in producing even a single kantha throw. Our kantha throws take, on average, 96 hours to handcraft. Our products are fairly priced sustaining life of our artisans and provides their livinghood. We adhere to Fair Trade practices while pricing our kantha quilts.
    • Our kantha blankets are all made in a generous, safe, whole-hearted business by vulnerable & at-risk women who can work with dignity.
