A short, boxy silhouette crafted from reversible vintage kantha—hand-embroidered decades ago in Bengal by women who layered moments of daily life into thread. Each side reveals a different rhythm of color and pattern, shaped by time rather than trend.
Easy to pair with pants, jeans, or skirts, it slips naturally into an indie–streetwear look: effortless, versatile, and rich with quiet heritage.

“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.
