Three Beautiful Examples of Kantha Embroidery to Keep An Eye Out For at Artisan Soul

1. Pink Kantha Stitched Dupatta on Silk Base

This embroidered dupatta is from the rural district of Birbhum in West Bengal, made through Kantha stitch. To keep a pattern as unique and ordered as possible, the Kantha Stitch is only worked on by a single artisan.

2. Handcrafted Kantha File from Bolpur

Files that people use are seen as having generically boring designs that lack creativity and visual appeal. However, this handcrafted Kantha file certainly creates a visual treat for the eyes. Handcrafted from the West Bengal city of Bolpur, this file is ideal for organising your documents. Storing documents in such a beautiful file is bound to break the monotony that comes along with using colourless files.

3. Red and Black Kantha Stitch Applique Design Saree

Sarees can be draped in over one hundred ways. Each saree is unique and can be styled differently. There is no other way to add to this diversity than by an ornamental needlework design. This red and black Kantha stitch clearly is a testament to the phenomenal craftsmanship of the artisan who carefully stitched the floral-inspired patterns on the saree.
