Handstitched Double-Sided Kantha Throw. Made by the Bishnoi tribe of Rajasthan.
A Kantha Throw is a hand-made 100% reprocessed cotton quilt made from Indian saris which are hand-stitched together in a traditional running stitch. It is one of the oldest known forms of up-cycling and is considered in Indian culture a symbol of protection.
The Bishnoi have a long tradition, going back centuries, of working with all-natural fabrics, dyes, & processes. They are the famed original Eco Warriors & you could read a little bit more about their history on our Handmade Rugs blog.
Each piece is unique using recycled fabrics, some minor defects may be visible. The photos showing each side of the throw.
