Sitaara | Saffron - Plant Dyed Kantha Cushion

Created in collaboration with artisans in West Bengal, this cushion brings together multiple stages of making, each carried out by skilled hands.

The cotton cover is made from handloomed fabric woven by women in West Bengal. It is then dyed in small batches by a third-generation dye house using madder root, resulting in a warm saffron tone with natural depth and variation.

The cloth then returns to the artisans for kantha stitching, worked freehand across the surface, before being finished by a tailor with a concealed zip and paired with a British wool insert.

The result is a piece shaped through many hands, where each stage adds its own layer of skill, care, and character.
