More details

Our aprons are kantha-stitched and sewn from repurposed cotton sari quilts, each one carrying layers of history through its fabric.

Cut in a relaxed pinafore style, the shape is generous and easy to wear, with a square neckline and crossover straps at the back. Large patch pockets add practicality, while a cotton lining gives the apron structure and durability for everyday use.

Nothing is wasted in the making. Matching oven mitts are created using off-cuts from our kantha robes and aprons, ensuring each piece of fabric is used with care and intention.

Due to the vintage nature of these textiles, subtle wear and small imperfections are part of their story, making every apron entirely unique.

Care
Machine washable. Do not use bleach, harsh detergents, or high heat.

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

This piece keeps textiles in circulation, giving vintage kantha and fabric off-cuts a third life rather than letting them go to 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.

Today, this practice continues as a way of preserving both craft and a philosophy of care, renewal, and resourcefulness.
