Kantha throws are traditional embroidered textiles from eastern South Asia, made by layering old saris or dhotis and stitching them together with rows of simple running stitches. The name “kantha” refers to this stitching, which creates both a functional quilted texture and decorative patterns ranging from geometric borders to elaborate floral, animal, or folk motifs. Historically crafted by women as a way to recycle worn fabrics into blankets, covers, or wraps, kanthas embody both thrift and creativity, with each piece carrying a personal, handmade character. Today they are celebrated for their vibrant colors, patchwork charm, and cultural heritage, often repurposed as throws, bedspreads, or wall hangings in contemporary homes.
