The Piece Explained

A sharply pleated waist, a narrow tapered bottom, and the sturdy grace of vintage kantha — this pair brings streetwear structure with the soul of old Bengal. The fabric is thick, the fall is effortless, and the comfort is surprising for something so sculpted.
We broke more needles than we can count bringing these panels together — but you’ll feel why it was worth every snap the moment you spend a day in them.

“Kantha” is one of the oldest surviving embroidery traditions of the Indian subcontinent — with roots that stretch back to pre-Vedic times (before 1500 BCE). For centuries, women across Bengal stitched layers of old cloth together, turning everyday textiles into heirlooms. It lived in every kind of home: the zamindar’s daughter embellishing a quilt as part of her bridal trousseau, and the village homemaker mending faded saris into something warm and beautiful for her children.

What passed from mother to daughter wasn’t just technique, but memory — the habit of giving fabric a second life. The vintage kantha textiles we work with today are often 40–50 years old, softened by time and marked by the hands that made them.
