Kantha Baby Quilt #4

Our kantha baby-blankets are so much more than your typical baby blanket. By the creation of these beautiful one-of-a-kind items, the makers are now employed in work that brings dignity and livelihood and a brighter future. It is providing the women a fair wage, support, childcare, and ongoing education. Often these women were victims of trafficking and were at risk of, or are leaving, sex work. The baby-blankets are stitched in 12-hours by hand (on average) and signify a new beginning.

Now, the “details” of the product:

• Kantha baby-blankets are six layers of vintage saris, carefully hand-stitched together by women in Bangladesh using a traditional kantha stitch. Read more about “kantha” here.
• All baby-blankets are made of 100% reclaimed cotton sari cloth.
• The Bohemian Collective sources all kantha products through “Basha”.  Read more about Basha and their mission here.
• Baby kantha quilts are approximately: 1 m X 1 m (3’4” X 3’4”) or half the size of our throw blankets.
