Kurzübersicht

This listing is for one luxe sari cushion cover, made from opulent sari cloth in MOCHA with ornate embroidery and kantha stitching. Rich Bengali saris are joined with careful hand-stitching to form these stunning one-of-a-kind cushion covers.

Vivid colours, ornate decorative patterns, and charming patchwork reflect local vibrancy and spirit and ensure no one else has a cushion exactly like yours.

The word 'kantha' means 'patched cloth' and Bangladeshi and Northwest Indian women have made functional items like in this method for centuries. These stunning kantha products are superimposed layers of vintage saris, carefully hand-sewn with neat rows of contrasting thread to form a beautiful finished piece. Each item is made from 100% reclaimed luxe sari cloth, taking approximately 13 hours to stitch by hand (depending on experience).

These unique pieces were handcrafted by women who were previously trafficked into or otherwise engaged in formal or floating sex work (or at risk), now employed in work that brings dignity & livelihood. Our kantha blankets are all made in a generous, safe space by vulnerable and at-risk women who can now work with dignity because of purchases like yours. We stand by our products and are confident that you won't find a kantha that is as unique, versatile, rich in story, or as well-constructed as our beautiful hand-stitched kantha products.

Material: Luxe silk cloth from repurposed saris, mixed fabrics

Dimensions: Approximately 46cm x 46cm (approx. 18in x 18in)

Care: Dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the vibrant colour and texture of your luxe kantha cushion cover. Hang to air dry.

The backstory: Basha’s vision is to continue to grow as long as there are women in Bangladesh in need of dignified work. Basha dreams of a day when women are not at risk of exploitation and don’t live in fear.

This social enterprise breaks the cycle of poverty for women in Bangladesh. In addition to secure and dignified employment, the women receive additional benefits including subsidised medical care, life skills classes and a free on-site nursery school for their children while they are at work. Buying a kantha quilt or scarf gives these brave women the chance to leave behind past traumas and social stigma and develop into leaders and entrepreneurs

Every single purchase from this collection changes lives & builds futures.

Über Marke

Shakti.ism ist eine britische Marke, die indischen Saris ein zweites Leben gibt:  In sozialen Einrichtungen in Indien und Bangladesch verarbeitet sie die Saris zu schönen neuen Kleidungsstücken.

Fair Trade: Shakti.ism ist ein soziales Unternehmen, das in Indien und Bangladesch tätig ist. Die Mitarbeiter erhalten einen fairen Lohn sowie zusätzliche Gesundheits- und Wellnessleistungen. Shakti.ism besucht regelmäßig die Standorte und berät sich mit ihren Mitarbeitern.

Umweltfreundlich: Die Artikel werden aus alten indischen Saris hergestellt, die von Shakti.ism ein zweites Leben erhalten. Zum Beispiel werden viele Saris gespendet. Lokale Spenden kommen in der Regel von ärmeren Menschen, die Saris im Austausch für andere Lebensbedürfnisse spenden. Oder sie verkaufen es zu einem niedrigen Preis an Shakti.ism, damit sie mit diesem Geld Grundnahrungsmittel kaufen können. Shakti.ism kann dann verhindern, dass der gebrauchte Stoff weggeworfen wird. Saris können auch in Europa gespendet werden, damit sie wiederverwendet werden können.

Guter Zweck: Shakti.ism arbeitet mit Frauen zusammen, bei denen das Risiko besteht, von geschlechtsspezifischer Gewalt betroffen zu sein. Bei Shaktiism erhalten diese Frauen die Möglichkeit, in einer angenehmen Umgebung ihr eigenes Geld fair zu verdienen.
