Kanthas are hand stitched throws made in India from recycled saris. Layers of 3 pieces of sari fabrics hand stitched together. Each one is unique and has its own character. Character might include small dye marks or spots. Some may have sweet little patches or pieced or repaired fabrics or fading or small holes revealing the center fabric. These “flaws” are part of their story and we call it character, not flaws.

They are the perfect travel blanket, couch covering, wall tapestry, fabric yardage, and the list goes on and on. Because each kantha, and even each side, is entirely unique, we do not offer color or style options to choose from. We recommend getting 3+ so we can send you a variety of beautiful colors and designs. - 42" by 80" (approx. 105 cm by 200 cm) - Hand stitched in India - Wash and dry safe

ABOUT SEEDS

In 2001, Sonja Swenson designed and fashioned her first handmade necklace. This moment signaled the beginning of her passion for jewelry-making and skill sharing. From that moment, she learned that creating designs and seeing them come to life was a true passion that could be shared. Soon after, she opened a bead store where she began teaching classes. She didn’t want to just make pieces to sell - Sonja wanted to boldly empower others to create and share their art. She wanted to give those around her a means to fashion beautiful pieces, generate income, and develop strength through purposeful relationships.

Nearly ten years later, Sonja was in the process of restructuring her current bead and clothing store when she found herself with excess product. But rather than throw away the perfectly good beads, she sought out a way to repurpose. This deliberate search led her to Haiti. Sonja and her daughter Shelbi ventured to the Caribbean country just two short years after it was devastated by an earthquake that ravaged the country and left millions jobless.
