Shared Earth - Upcycled kantha stitch silk sari scarves 1
- Description The vintage silk saris are first lovingly washed
- Then hand stitched together by women in India to create unique and beautiful pieces
- The real beauty of these scarves is that they are double sided and each side has a different fabric pattern
- Making them very unusual and beautiful to wear as you can showcase both sides
- ‘Kantha’ means Patched Cloth
- Pronounced “KAHN-taa
- The Kantha stitch is small straight running stitch that is a beautifully simplistic technique that can be compared to the Japanese Sashiko stitching
- Both techniques have their roots in recycling and giving new life and purpose to old textiles
- Kantha stitch embroidery is one of the most important textile arts in Eastern India
- It can be traced back 500 years
