Aftercare One of the questions that we’re most often asked at Kantha Decor is “how do I care for my kantha quilt?” We understand the concern. You’re the new owner of a beautifully hand embroidered blanket and the last thing you want to do is have the thread pulled while in the washing machine.

The process of making an indigo cotton quilt begins in the same way as other varieties of Kantha, with a preloved 100% cotton sari. These garments come in a wide range of colours and designs, and are wonderfully soft. Over time, as with any item of clothing, older saris become faded and unworn, at which point they can be repurposed into one of these beautiful indigo quilt throws.

If you’ve been scrolling through our shop, the chances are high that you’ve got a rather long list of 100% cotton Kantha quilts to narrow down. We know how hard it is to choose a Kantha quilt - we’ve been there! 

If you’re struggling to make a decision on which Indian throw to bring home with you, you’re in the right place. We’ve created a number of guides to help you. 

The issue of waste created by our modern throwaway culture is making headline news, but do we really have to sacrifice all of the little luxuries in life in order to live more eco-consciously? 

With Kantha Decor, you can have the best of both worlds - satisfying your shopping needs while doing your part for the planet.
