Indian Kantha Pillow Cover (20×20 inches) #311

Kantha items are hand sewn, made of recycled cotton saris (a traditional, flowing women’s garment in India) stitched together…every piece is stitched to the next, edges are hand sewn, and they are hand quilted. They are SO soft and snuggly, the perfect cushion cover to complete the look in your bedroom or living room.

Size: 20 x 20 inches

These are fair trade, made by women working at home looking to make additional income for their families. These are NOT the same as what you see on Amazon or eBay. Aside from being higher quality, many so-called Kanthas are produced commercially and/or not in India…funds from sales are directly helping people who work hard and live under difficult conditions. The ladies making these are given the fabric already purchased in bulk, and paid per blanket (pay price depending on size). Imperfections and patches should be expected!

Care Instructions: Wash on gentle cycle, air or low dry.

*Please note: The fabric used to make these blankets has never seen a washing machine so any staining will be reduced or removed when washed. Blankets are air treated for delivery to the US from India per US law, wash (and dry!) 2-3 times before use to remove any smell left by this treatment. Add vinegar to detergent to speed up the process.
