Your Impact - Ira Pants Kantha Vintage Cotton
Your Impact
Each pair of Kantha Pants is made by reworking existing materials and using hand processes at every stage.
| What Goes Into Each Pair | The Impact |
|---|---|
| Around 3–4 vintage sarees reused | Existing cotton textiles are brought back into use instead of being discarded. |
| No new fabric produced for the main body | The garment is created primarily from materials that already exist. |
| Kantha hand stitching | Layers of old sarees are joined and strengthened using rows of hand stitching. |
| One-of-a-kind construction | Each pair is made from a different combination of vintage textiles and is produced as a single piece. |
| Made in small quantities | The pants are not cut from standardised rolls of fabric or produced in large batches. |
| Existing textile character retained | Original prints, colour variations, repairs and signs of age remain visible in the final garment. |
| Cut and stitched in Bengal | The Kantha textile is prepared and tailored by skilled makers familiar with the material and technique. |
| Designed for continued use | The textile moves from its earlier life as sarees into a new, wearable form. |
Around 3–4 sarees. One pair of pants. No two alike.
Made with 100% humanity.
