Key features of Katha Embroidery

Origin and purpose: The craft originated in rural Bengal as a practical way to mend and reuse old fabrics, like sarees, into items such as quilts, wraps, and covers. It is also a form of self-expression and storytelling for the women who create it.

Stitch: The defining characteristic is the "running stitch," which is applied in a darning-like motion to create a dotted or wavy effect on the fabric. Other stitches like stem and back stitches are often used for details and borders.

Designs: Traditional motifs, textures, and hand-stitched lines give the quilt an earthy yet artistic appeal suitable for modern and ethnic décor styles.

Sustainability: It is a sustainable and eco-friendly art form that transforms discarded materials into valuable art pieces.

Modern adaptation: While it has historical roots, Kantha is now used commercially to create a wide range of modern products like stoles, jackets, and home decor, while retaining its traditional heart.

Multiple layers of soft cotton make the quilt warm enough for winter and breathable enough for summer.

The natural fabric ensures excellent temperature regulation and skin-friendly comfort.

Both sides of the quilt are usable, often showcasing contrasting colours or patchwork patterns.
