Kantha- the famed patchwork embroidery from West Bengal is an example that beauty can be found in everyday, the ordinary. The craftwork emerged as local women’s endeavor to prepare pleasing designs on their daily use fabrics. Unlike most of the handlooms and textile work, Kantha did not receive any major royal patronage. Its connection to the famous personalities in History occurs quite late, in the modern period, when it was revived by the sister of the famous Bengali poet, Rabindra Nath Tagore. However, the gorgeous embroidery is well-rooted in India’s history and culture, with its distinctively vibrant patterns.
This crepe silk dupatta is profusely stitched with ethnic patterns in the most beautiful and colorful threads. Eye-catching paisley, flowers, and leaf motifs in bright red, green, pink, and yellow decorate the cream-colored fabric, creating a stylish statement piece for your next Indian fashion ensemble.
