Short description

This kantha scarf is made of a dark green sari with a multi coloured motif on one side; on the other is a cream sari with blue embroidery. Each scarf is unique and the fabrics have been selected with care. Made by a woman who has worked approximately one day on this scarf.

size: 35 x 190 cm
material: silk (blend). Because our kantha scarves are made from vintage saris, the materials are not always precisely known.

This sari kantha scarf is made from vintage saris. Two layers of sari fabric are stitched together with a running stitch. This type of Bengali embroidery is called kantha. The front and back of the scarf are made from different saris, selected to give a beautiful contrast. Vintage saris may have small imperfections, but every care is taken to patch them with a beautiful matching fabric.

The scarves are made in Bangladesh by an organisation that creates fair work for women. These women are given the opportunity to provide for themselves and their families in a dignified and fair way. This means the chances of them becoming victims of trafficking (again) decreases greatly.
