Vintage Kantha Throws & Suzanis

Our Vintage Kantha Throws & Suzanis Collection celebrates the beauty of hand-stitched and hand-embroidered textiles from Bengal and Central Asia. Each piece carries the warmth of the maker’s hand — layered, quilted, and embroidered in vibrant patterns that bring both texture and narrative to any interior.

The Bengali kantha tradition transforms repurposed cotton saris into richly patterned quilts through thousands of running stitches. In contrast, Uzbek suzanis are exuberantly embroidered panels once made for bridal dowries — their bold floral and vine motifs symbolising luck, fertility, and prosperity. Together they reveal a shared philosophy: the idea that domestic textiles can be both functional and deeply expressive.

Heritage & Craftsmanship

Every kantha and suzani in this collection is unique — hand-crafted decades ago using traditional methods that survive only among a few dedicated artisans today. Their natural imperfections and subtle fading speak of age and authenticity, while the colours and stitches retain astonishing vitality. Each textile is a fragment of cultural heritage, preserved through the continuity of craft rather than conservation alone.

Styling & Use

A kantha quilt adds softness and quiet colour when draped across a bed or sofa, while a suzani makes an arresting wall hanging or headboard panel. Pair them with hand-woven cushions or natural linens for a tactile, collected look. Whether displayed, layered, or used every day, these textiles bring a sense of story and soul to modern interiors.
