recycled cotton sari throw blanket, purple hues

Upcycling favorite old saris and stitching the scraps into wonderfully mellowed throws, rural women in West Bengal, India and Bangladesh create soft cotton throws. The women use a local form of quilt stitching with contrast thread called askantha forming patchworks of pattern. Each piece has a unique pattern and color. Individually shown so you can choose your favorite.

These throws are hand crafted and require careful spot hand washing to preserve.

Size: Each is slightly different but approximately 60″ wide x 88″ long
