The Design:

The traditional design and colorful impressions on a nakshi kantha represent the cultural renaissance of the art-loving Bangladesh. They are inspired by a folk belief, religion and passion for the arts. Each exquisitely designed nakshi  kantha has a design impression repeated several times throughout its length. This impression serves as a point of focus. Most nakshi kathas will have a floral pattern at the focal point, and around it there are other designs that grow outwards and circumambulate- such as floral designs, patterns or even a border motif. The patchwork or applique can include a variety of these: leaves, birds and fish, animals, temples or monuments and patterns.

In order to cater to your specific needs of comfort and grandeur, we make sure that each nakshi kantha is unique, with a design impression of its own. The color combination and the design are entirely exclusive and can never match any other in the entire world.

You can now own a piece of this ancient tradition in the form of a warm, stylish nokshi katha or quilt that has a unique yet freshly traditional look.

Supporting rural communities in Bangladesh

Behind the production of these Bangladeshi handicrafts, many cottage and small-scale industries are at work in the rural areas. The nokshi kathas are hand made by rural women in Bangladesh who are mostly homeless housewives. We support rural livelihoods and small-scale industries in Bangladesh by providing a wider market for their handmade quilts to help continue traditional skills and special knowledge of the craft.

Each woman worker takes about 8 months to a year to complete a full size embroidered quilt. We do not mass-produce any of our range, they are produced domestically. Special care and love is embroidered into each quilt- and you can see that in the final item!

Take your own initiative now and buy this item to help support the underprivileged communities in Bangladesh!
