Women Hand Embroidery Kantha Stitch Handloom Silk Saree

Kantha stitch handloom silk sarees represent a fusion of artistry and cultural heritage, reflecting centuries of tradition and craftsmanship. Originating from the rural areas of Bengal and Odisha in India, Kantha embroidery started as a folk art practiced by women to recycle old clothes and fabrics. Over time, this technique evolved into a sophisticated form of textile art, especially prominent in saree design.

Kantha embroidery involves intricate and decorative stitching patterns, often depicting stories, floral motifs, animals, and geometric shapes. These patterns are hand-embroidered onto the fabric, creating a textured and visually captivating surface. The silk used in these sarees adds an element of elegance, making each piece a work of art that is both lightweight and luxurious.
