Kantha means "Patched".
It refers to both the style of the stitch & the finished cloth.
Traditionally created by stacking old saris onto each other and hand stitching them together using a simple running stitch to make a thin cushioned layer.
Bengali women layered together old discarded clothing with the simple kantha (running stitch) style stitching to make a bedspread or bed cushion, repurposing the old into something useful and protective.
These beautiful cane based chairs are an example of how a traditional craft can become an form of art.
