Hand-stitched kantha quilts with history

In Calcutta, MASALA has beautiful soft quilted blankets sewn from sari fabrics, produced by women through a certified Fairtrade organization – kantha is a traditional Indian sewing technique where several layers of fabric are stitched together with fine hand stitches. The result is beautiful and unique quilted blankets that combine comfort, functionality, and craftsmanship.

Each kantha quilt is handmade by skilled artisans in India. The characteristic stitches give the blankets their special texture and vibrant expression. No two blankets are exactly alike, which makes each product special.

Kantha blankets can be used as a bedspread, throw, on the sofa, or as a decorative rug in the home. Their light weight makes them suitable all year round, both as extra warmth on cool evenings and as a decorative detail in the interior.

At MASALA, you will find carefully selected kantha quilted blankets in beautiful colors and patterns inspired by Indian craft traditions. The blankets are created to bring warmth, color, and personality into the home while telling the story of unique craftsmanship.
