VINTAGE KANTHA QUILTS

Vintorage has just put out its 'Tropicana' style Indian Vintage Kantha Quilts vintorage.bigcartel.com

They are sure to give you a big vibrant leap into spring and excite your day!!
These handcrafted lightweight, cotton quilts are perfect for winter to cover over the layers of unsightly 'granny blankets' or a tired doona, then in warmer months it's all you will need, with  just a sheet in between you and its soft and exotic stitches, as an end-of-bed throw or casually flop over the lounge suite for that subtle pop of colour. Even more options as a luxury picnic blanket, or possibly have a few folded on display, ready to bring out and delight your staying guests. 

They are 'the must have' style item for this season!!

Originating in West Bengal and the style moved through out India.

Typically using off cuts and vintage Sais, Kantha quilts ooze a wonderful bohemian style, with their warm rich, vibrant colours and hand blocked prints.

'Kantha' refers to the type of stitching/embroidery. Kantha is a simple running stitch, which the Quilts display around the outer edges and running through the entire fabric, using colourful threads, giving a unique, textured and original quality.
The Kantha Quilts on sale at vintorage have been ethically sourced and made, by local artisans in Juniper India.

Bring spring into your vintage vibe, with these exotic "Tropicana' Indian Vintage Kantha Quilts!!
Double- $120
