Ananya is a one-of-a-kind kantha quilt created in collaboration with artisans in the village of Sima Nagar, West Bengal.
Made from three layers of handloomed cotton, the surface is stitched using traditional kantha, with simple running lines worked freehand across the fabric. Without templates or fixed patterns, the stitch follows its own rhythm, creating a soft, textured surface.
The multicoloured threads move gently across the cloth, bringing subtle variation and depth, while the overall piece remains calm and balanced.
Small variations and joining seams are part of the process, reflecting both the handloomed fabric and a zero-waste approach to making.
This piece is created in collaboration with artisans in West Bengal, supporting consistent work and fair pay through traditional craft.
A portion of proceeds is shared with marginalised communities through our ongoing partnership with human rights organisation Restless Beings.
Kantha is a centuries-old stitching tradition from the Bengal region, spanning present-day West Bengal and Bangladesh.
Originally created within the home, layers of worn cloth were stitched together using small running stitches to form quilts for everyday use. What began as a practical act of reuse became something more, a quiet expression of care, resourcefulness, and creativity.
Today, this practice continues as a way of preserving both craft and a philosophy rooted in renewal, where nothing is wasted and every piece carries a past into the present.
