More details

Jivika, meaning “livelihood” in Hindi, is a one-of-a-kind kantha quilt with two beautifully contrasting sides.

On one side, a warm mustard base is framed with deep navy borders and detailed with flowing floral motifs in soft pink and cream. The pattern runs in horizontal bands, with vine-like forms and a structured border that brings the composition together.

The reverse shifts into a more geometric design, with sections of green and red woven into fine, repeating patterns. The surface is textured with small, closely set motifs, creating a dense and tactile finish.
Hand-stitched using traditional kantha techniques, Jivika brings together contrasting colours and patterns in a balanced way.

Designed to be reversible, it offers two distinct sides within one piece.

Care
Machine washable.

Do not use bleach, harsh detergents, or high heat.

Due to the vintage nature of these textiles, slight wear and imperfections are to be expected and are part of the character of each piece.
Giving back

This piece supports the continuation of kantha, a craft rooted in the Bengal region and passed down through generations.

By repurposing pre-loved saris, it continues this tradition of renewal, keeping textiles in circulation and reducing waste.

A portion of proceeds is shared with marginalised communities through our ongoing partnership with human rights organisation Restless Beings.

For every order placed, we also plant a tree, contributing to long-term environmental restoration.

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. What began as a practical act of reuse became something more, a quiet expression of care, resourcefulness, and creativity.

Today, this practice continues as a way of preserving both craft and a philosophy rooted in renewal, where nothing is wasted and every piece carries a past into the present.
