Individually fascinating squares of printed art silks have been skilfully combined to create these Indian Bedspreads with dynamic and harmonious colour palettes.
A close up on the fabrics used by village women of Bangladesh who recycle fabrics from old saris & stitch them together to make beautiful Kantha quilts.
Our beautiful Appliquéd Bedspreads from Barmer are made by a process of reverse appliqué, a technique where one of two layers of fabric is cut away to produce a pattern, and embroidery added to the exposed under-layer.
Kantha is a type of embroidery stitching typical of rural Bengal. Village women repurpose old saris to make quilts, shawls and cushions to create a new item - what we would today call upcycling.
We have a new improved website to go with our new store - and we hope you like it! We're the same people, Peter and Kay, with the same ethos. If you knew the old site you'll find all your favourites and more here.
