These vintage Kantha quilts are crafted by female artisans in villages throughout India. Generations of women have passed their skills to their daughters to keep this traditional art-form alive so your purchase helps this to continue. Kantha is the craft of hand stitching. Each quilt is 100% original and no two are alike. made from vintage saris. This means there will be imperfections, patches, threads that are not perfect, possibly some discoloration in places. However, the company, Liv Rocks, does their best to check each one before sending them to me for the shop. All quilts have been washed and packaged prior to shipment for cleanliness.
