kantha vintage hoodie dhriti (L-XL)

Our Kantha Vintage Hoodie is an everyday essential stitched with stories

A hoodie is the easiest thing to reach for—when the air turns cool, when you want to feel held, or when you just need comfort that moves with you.

This one does more.

Made from vintage cotton sarees quilted into cozy layers, it draws from the tradition of Kantha—a way of stitching used for generations in Bengal to turn worn fabrics into something useful and lasting.

Each piece is created by our Bondutha community in Sikra, Bengal, as part of our Waste to Wonder collection—where old cloth becomes something full of life again.

Care

Your overlay is happiest with gentle care:

1. Hand-wash gently: Fill a basin with cool water and a mild, eco-friendly detergent.
2. Swish softly and rinse: Submerge, swish gently for a few minutes, then rinse until clear.
3. Hang open and dry: Press out excess water (no wringing) hang it flat to dry.

Every gentle wash keeps the fibers strong, the colors vibrant, and the stories intact—so your overlay can journey with you and maybe even the next generation, too.

Kantha: Old Sarees, New Stories

Ever wonder what happens to beautiful old sarees in India? In Sikra village and other small villages in West Bengal and bodering Bangladesh, they get a second life through the age-old Kantha technique.

Here's how it works: Hawkers collect vintage sarees from all over India. These sarees are then layered (at least 4-5 layers) to first make quilts. It's usually done by groups of women who sit together, chatting and stitching, turning these old fabrics into pieces of art. Their nimble fingers create patterns that tell stories - of tradition, of their village, of the fabric's past life.

Once they're done, our tailors step in, shaping these stitched-up saree quilts into wearable art. It's slow fashion at its best - and the best part? Every piece is unique, just like you.

When you wear our Kantha pieces, you're not just looking good. You're wearing someone's labor of love, supporting a village, and giving new life to old cloth. Pretty cool, right?

Made by - This product is made by our artisan community Bondutha. Bondutha—meaning friendship—is our artisan community partner based in Nadia district, West Bengal. It's home to more than 2,000 women artisans who specialize in Kantha embroidery, supported by their extended families, local tailors, and cultural keepers. This community is a thriving ecosystem of tradition, skill, and collaboration—and an integral part of our vision to build slow, ethical, and empowering fashion systems.
