Kantha-Stitched Cotton Jacket

Bolpur, West Bengal

A light, unlined jacket made from layered cotton held together with kantha, the running stitch of rural Bengal. The rows of tiny stitches ripple the surface slightly, giving the cloth a quilted feel without bulk. It creases like all good cotton does and grows softer each time it is washed. An easy layer for mild mornings.

The hands
Layers of soft cotton are held together with thousands of small running stitches, worked by hand across the whole cloth.

Buying handmade keeps a craft in work. That is the whole model — no middle story.
