Umniya is a one-of-a-kind kantha quilt created in collaboration with artisans in the village of Sima Nagar, West Bengal.

Made from three layers of handloomed cotton, the surface is stitched freehand using traditional kantha. The zigzag lines move across the fabric in multicoloured threads, creating a rhythmic, layered composition.

Each piece is stitched without templates, allowing the lines to form naturally through the hand. Subtle variations in spacing and movement are part of the process, reflecting the organic nature of the craft.

Finished with a clean piped edge, the structure of the quilt is gently framed against the movement of the stitch.

Kantha

Kantha is a centuries-old stitching tradition from the Bengal region, spanning present-day West Bengal and Bangladesh.

Originally created within the home, layers of worn cloth were stitched together using small running stitches to form quilts for everyday use. Today, this practice continues as a way of preserving both craft and a philosophy of care, renewal, and resourcefulness.
