Carry Your Life in a Kantha Quilt Bag — Hand Stitched Quilts
CARRY YOUR LIFE IN A KANTHA QUILT
THERE IS ONLY ONE OF EACH QUILT BAG
We've sewn a limited number of our Kantha quilts into bags. These are large cloth bags that can hold a picnic or your haul from the farmer's market. They are based on two popular Maiwa bags - the Market Bag and the Studio Bag. Sizes and location of pockets are given in the listings.
ABOUT KANTHA QUILTS
Fields of colour, a familiar favourite cloth patched into place, a play of fabric. All pieced together and covered with tight running stitches. These vintage quilts have been cherished for years, worn out, re-made and given new life. They are medium-weight and big personality.
Kantha quilts are made for household use in rural parts of Bengal and Bangladesh. Favourite prints, saris, and beloved lengths of cloth are stitched together with plain and coloured threads. Every quilter has her own individual style. These quilts are used as bedcovers, blankets, tablecloths, picnic blankets, car blankets, couch blankets ... there is no limit to the utility of these textiles.
PAIR YOUR BAG WITH A QUILTED BOTANICAL COAT
A Maiwa classic! Insulating and exceptional, this coat will keep you warm and cozy in all seasons. Made of quilted fabric - two layers of organic cotton in between two layers of handwoven cotton cloth. A Maiwa piece that you'll reach for over and over again.
Sewn from exquisite artisan cloth; thread dyed with natural dyes and handwoven by village artisans in India. By dyeing the threads before weaving, there is an added depth and variance to the colour that celebrates the handcraft of the dyers and weavers who created it.
To our U.S. customers – don't forget that the exchange rate works in your favour, it's like an extra discount.
