ONE OF A KIND.
Our vintage Kantha Dusters have been created from heirloom vintage blankets sourced from all over Rajasthan. Our master tailors have re-imagined them into very unique and beautiful layer pieces.
Made from 100% cotton Kantha, which is a centuries old tradition of stitching patchwork cloth from rags. It is re-cycling in its oldest form, whereby villages would give old textiles new life. Old saris made incredibly soft through wear, would be re-threaded in a long kantha stitch in layers to create new strong fabric - recycling at its best!
Each Coat is completely unique, and can be worn turned inside out for another unique print if desired, nobody else out there will ever have one exactly like the one you choose! :)
Featuring:
- deep patch front pockets on the outside.
- long sleeves which can be folded back to get the contrast of the other side.
- an open style duster coat with no buttons.
- matching tie for closing or wearing as a robe.
A beautiful unique layer piece that will take you through every season, either layered over a sweater, your favourite tee/cami and jeans, a cosy around the house coat or robe… swan around in this eclectic piece knowing only you own one of this unique print!
Note:
Each blanket has been hand picked by founder Dan, every one for its print, colour and quality. They come in varying thicknesses depending on the Kantha, some are thinner, some really thick, all cosy and strong with their layered cotton stitch.
Please note as these are made from vintage blankets they will not be perfect. Some blankets are worn away in spots, faded, and some are patched, however we have chosen the A grade side for the outside/main side of the jacket.
We believe any imperfections only add to their beautiful history and story, and makes them even more special. What life have they lived before?…
Please bear this in mind when purchasing a vintage re-imagined garment. Photos make up each item description.
