Sometimes “less is more”…this beautiful cotton bedspread / throw exemplifies just that…With a repeating pattern of black trees, hand block printed skilfully by our artisans back in India, this print sits softly on an off white ground.
Beautifully handmade by Indian artisans & finished off with the age old “kantha” stitch, this bedspread has the print on 1 side & is plain on the other side. This throw is so versatile & can be used for any kind of look, be it coastal, bohemian or even minimal. Inspired by textile designer Shakiras’ love for flora & nature & hand block printing.
“Kantha work” is a family skill (an embroidery) passed on from mother to daughter, originating from the north eastern states in India, wherein old saris, dhotis & old cloth pieces are stitched together using the running stitch to make light weight quilts or throws. Thus each piece is totally unique & this embroidery renders a slightly crinkled or wavy effect to the original patchwork of materials.
Loose threads & some imperfections are characteristic of this type of handmade product. Please note the placement of the print on the shams might vary since it is cut out from an all over print of the bedspread.
Dimensions – To fit a queen to king size bed 230cms x 267cms . Can be bought with coordinating pillowcases (shams sold separately).
Dry Clean Preferable, but can also be light machine washed by itself with cold water….
