Kantha Throws and Quilts are the latest “hot products” in home décor.

Kantha is a type of embroidery originated in West Bengal (India) and Bangladesh. Any garment or cloth with Kantha embroidery, predominantly having decorative running stitch motifs may be called Kantha garments. Traditionally Kantha embroidery were preserved and reused in vintage cotton saris. The use of recycled materials made Kantha throw earth friendly!

Women in the villages especially in states like West Bengal, Gujarat and Rajasthan, sit together and sew these with hand (kind of embroidery work for them) by sewing layers of cloth and often vintage saris together and then stitch using a traditional, delicate “Kantha” stitch to make a light blanket, throw or bedspread. Kantha originated from the way in which Bengali housewives mended old clothes by taking out a strand of thread from the colorful border of their saris and make simple designs with them.

Kantha throws have become more and more popular over the past several years in western interiors. Some like them because they are reversible and lightweight. But more than that, these cotton quilts are usually quite colorful with gorgeous patterns and patches. They are far more gorgeous in person than in photos. The reversible cotton is easy care.

You may want to just stack the Kantha throws on top of your white wooden cabinet in the sitting room – not only they add color to the room and a jolt of personality - they are available for warmth when snuggling on the sofa at night and by day. Throw one on the end of the bed or drape it over a couch to add that splash of color and enjoy the unique hand embroidered motif. Get a Kantha throw and toss it on the table creating a colorful scene with a gorgeous, exotic cover that will be a conversation piece. Kantha Throws make great wedding and baby gifts too.

For bed sheets, fabric content is an important factor. We offer a wide range of 100% cotton bed sheets. There are different grades of cotton, which are determined by the length of its staple or fiber. The longer the staple, the more luxurious and durable the grade of cotton.

100% cotton bed sheets are the softest and most breathable. The natural cotton fibers pull moisture away from your body, giving you pleasant sleeping experience.

Cotton is a natural fiber and will absorb the moisture of your skin, keeping you cool. Polyester and microfiber bedding is less expensive and while cool at first, quickly warm and does not give a natural feel.
