Kantha Jacket in Block Print Cotton

This beautifully tailored Kantha-style  jacket brings together heritage craftsmanship and contemporary design. Made from 100% cotton, it features a smart, tailored fit and stunning hand-block-printed floral patterns that add a splash of elegance to your wardrobe. The cool, breathable fabric makes it a versatile choice for year-round comfort.

The art of Kantha stitching is a time-honored tradition from India, where layers of fabric are quilted together using intricate, running stitches. The result is a jacket that is not only visually captivating but also durable and unique, each stitch reflecting the skill and dedication of artisans who have mastered this technique over generations.

In addition to Kantha-style  stitching, the jacket showcases the ancient craft of Indian hand block printing. This painstaking process involves carving intricate designs into wooden blocks, which are then dipped in natural dyes and stamped onto the fabric by hand. The slight variations in the print are a testament to the jacket's handcrafted nature, making each piece one-of-a-kind.

What makes this jacket even more special is its reversible design. With buttons on both sides and a contrasting block print pattern on the reverse, it offers two equally stunning looks in one versatile garment.

Process

Every Kantha- style  jacket is a labor of love, handmade in collaboration with skilled artisans from India. The cotton fabric is carefully selected, ensuring quality and sustainability. The use of traditional techniques like Kantha stitching and hand block printing honours India’s rich textile heritage, while the reversible design brings modern versatility to your wardrobe.
