Nakshi Kantha is more than embroidery-it’s a centuries-old tradition rooted in Bengal, tracing back to the 1st and 2nd century. Originally used to stitch layered old cloth into quilts, these designs beautifully depict animals, birds, flowers, and daily life, reflecting the artisans’ culture and emotions. Shantiniketan, in West Bengal, is the heart of this craft, while pockets in Odisha and Bangladesh also carry this legacy.
Over time, Kantha embroidery moved beyond quilts into sarees, salwar suits, dupattas, and even modern indo-western attire. IndyVogue celebrates this heritage with its exclusive Kantha Silk Mark Certified sarees. Each piece-ranging from Shantiniketan hand batik to Mughal-inspired floral designs-is handcrafted over 7–10 months, infused with artisans’ skill, passion, and creativity.
Owning a Kantha saree from IndyVogue is not just wearing fabric-it’s embracing history, culture, and the unmatched artistry of Bengal in every intricate stitch.
