Set Of Two Colourful Sari Placemats, Kantha Stitched

A unique set of 2 reversible sari placemats. Pieces of sari cloth are carefully matched and stitched in straight, even rows.

Bright colours, bold prints, charming patchwork and unique pairings reflect local vibrancy and spirit and ensure no one else has a table setting exactly like yours.

The word 'kantha' means 'patched cloth' and Bangladeshi and Northwest Indian women have made functional items like this out of preloved sari cloth for centuries. These stunning kantha products are superimposed layers of vintage saris, carefully hand-sewn with neat rows of contrasting thread to form a beautiful finished scarf or throw. Each item is made from 100% reclaimed vintage cotton sari cloth
