Village Kantha Shirt

The carefully stitched and lovingly crafted Kantha shirt is made by our Artisan Ajija Sultana. Ajija and her team of women artisans embroider this vibrant story on a locally sourced fabric called Tussar Silk. The design is inspired by everyday scenes at the village markets of Bengal. 

The motifs tell a vibrant story of Bengals neighborhoods, the village markets, the day-to-day whereabouts of a typical day in their village, of local sellers and street vendors, all through the lens of the women telling attitudes through their age-old embroidery technique. 

The artwork/motifs are first hand-drawn by the local hand-drawing experts or the artisan herself, and then traced onto the fabric, and then hand embroidered using colorful mercerized cotton threads in a classic running stitch pattern on locally sourced Tussar silk/ cotton, and Bengal Silk. 

This unique and exclusive work of art is a heavy labor and time-consuming process that requires 3.5 months of time to embroider by our Kantha artists. Kindly allow this time for them to send this to you with love.
