Cotton Throw - Desert Sands

$165.00 Sale Save

One of a kind up-cycled cotton Kantha stitched throw.

  • Super soft cotton layers of cotton saris hand-stitched together
  • Single bed size: 200cm x 100cm
  • Add colour, character and warmth to a sofa, a bed or your favourite chair

Afterpay is available in checkout.

Each side is made in Bangladesh from reclaimed cotton saris and features a different fabric. It takes hours of careful hand stitching in even and straight rows with six layers of vintage saris to create this beautiful piece of work. This ancient craft of Kantha stitching has meant many saris have been repurposed over the generations rather than end up in a landfill. We think Basha's artistry is some of the best in its region!

Product Details

Dimensions: 1m x 2m.

Colour and Pattern: We have captured all the blankets' colours and patterns. Don't hesitate to contact us if you prefer to see more photos of a specific blanket. We would be happy to supply you with them.

The fabric is recycled cotton, so it is very soft and snuggly, with the endearing signs of some fading. In thinning cotton areas, the tradition is to carefully sew a  patch from the same sari over this portion, and each blanket may feature this craft. 

SKU B20-KTSC

Product Care

Machine washed on a gentle, cold cycle. The close stitching help maintain the shape of the cloth. To extend the blanket's life, we suggest you limit the number of washes. The saris are washed before they are sewn and are rewashed before shipping. They arrive soft, clean and beautiful.

Meet the Makers

The women of Basha are living examples of transformation. Each woman who was once vulnerable to exploitation is now secure. She is working in a safe and caring work environment, paid a livable wage and has had a savings program established.  Each one is given life skills training and specific training for her role in the Basha enterprise, according to her abilities and dreams. So she takes great pride in her work, and if you have the delight of owning one of the blankets she has hand-stitched you will find her signature is in the corner of the blanket.
