Vintage Upcycled Kantha Curtains
Each curtain is crafted from of at two or three layers of eco-friendly vintage cotton sari fabric so thick enough to keep draughts out - great as window or door curtains - drapes, room dividers or wardrobe fronts creating that eclectic home décor look
They will work with what ever home décor you currently have and will add a kaleidoscope of beautiful colours to any room or space as the daylight flows through and are reversible.
Photos are examples only as these curtains are all one of a kind and individual therefore colours and patterns vary - if you have a colour preference you would like to be in them then please message me with your order and I will do my best to accommodate.
Each curtain is one of a kind, full of history and amazing colours and patterns and make fabulous house warming, wedding or birthday gifts or of course just have them for yourself!
PLEASE NOTE: They are sold as a SINGLE curtain as there is no such thing as a matching pair! Many people order for door or wardrobe covers and therefore, only require a single curtain.
A mismatched pair looks just super though!
55 X 85 inches approximately (includes tab tops)- really lovely large size (note that due to being handmade from vintage fabric the length may vary slightly)
100% vintage cotton kantha
wash on a gentle cycle at 30 degrees - Line dry
There are so many uses for repurposed vintage kantha quilts, and these beautiful curtains are just one of them. Please look around the shop for more ideas and uses, start your own eclectic collection!
What is Kantha?
Kantha is a specific style of embroidery originating from India, mainly Bangladesh and West Bengal. It consists of vintage cotton or silk saris which are layered on top of each other and stitched together with a simple running stitch throughout the fabric and along the edges. Typically, a minimum of three cotton or silk sari layers make up each piece of kantha fabric. This forms a thin, light quilt that is soft, comfortable and cool. Kantha blankets' primary original purpose was to serve as blankets to sleep in. As you can see, there are endless functional and beautiful uses for kantha!
In addition to being extremely versatile and aesthetically pleasing, kantha is also environmentally-friendly choice as it is created by repurposing vintage cotton or silk saris. Each kantha item has its own story to tell, and no two items are alike! Sometimes there may be a little wear in the top layer exposing the gorgeous, eye-catching layer beneath, or sometimes they may sport a little patching adding to the charismatic appeal.
Here at Turquoise Tree Designs you can purchase the traditional handmade vintage quilts and also many accessories made from kantha quilts.
I use many of the items in my campervan, kitchen, and home. The fabric is scrumptiously soft, absorbent and quick to dry!
