About us
At Kantha Atelier, we believe in the power of heritage, craftsmanship, and storytelling. Our journey began with a deep love for the centuries-old tradition of kantha — a humble running stitch that turns layers of vintage cloth into living works of art.
Each piece we curate starts its life as a vintage sari, rich with history — celebrations, everyday moments, and family legacies woven into every thread. In the skilled hands of women artisans from rural India and Bangladesh, these fabrics are hand-stitched using techniques passed down from mother to daughter.
About the Brand
At Kantha Atelier, every stitch tells a story. We are devoted to preserving the timeless art of kantha — a beautiful running stitch technique passed down through generations in India and Bangladesh. Each piece we create is more than just fabric; it is a living narrative. Made from reclaimed vintage saris, our textiles breathe new life into old memories, turning them into unique, soulful treasures. Every kantha piece is hand-stitched by skilled women artisans, each carrying forward the tradition and warmth of handcrafted artistry. No two creations are alike — and that’s what makes every Kantha Atelier product truly special.
Our History
Kantha Atelier was born from a deep love for heritage, craftsmanship, and storytelling. Inspired by the legacy of mothers and daughters who have kept the kantha tradition alive, we set out to curate pieces that honor these stories and artisans. Our journey begins with sourcing vintage saris rich in history — fabrics that once graced celebrations, homes, and everyday lives. Through the delicate art of hand-stitching, these forgotten pieces are transformed into timeless heirlooms, connecting the past with the present.
