These jackets are made from beautiful kantha quilts. Favourite prints, saris, and beloved lengths of cloth are stitched together with plain and coloured threads. Every quilter has her own individual style. We love the history and stories each one holds.
When people ask us about the most spectacular handweave being done today, we think of a few places in India. One of the groups that top that list is the Vankar family of Bhujodi.
