Some vintage Kanthas offer two completely different looks. Two Sides of the Same Story takes a different approach, celebrating the same joyful design in two contrasting scales.

Handcrafted using traditional Kantha stitching, this one-of-a-kind textile features vibrant shades of purple with accents of green, white, pink and yellow. Delicate white stitching adds texture while allowing the colourful motifs to take centre stage.

Turn it over and you'll find the same beautiful pattern enlarged, creating a bolder feel while retaining the charm and craftsmanship of the original design.

Beautifully versatile, it can be styled as a bedspread, sofa throw, curtains, wall hanging or tablecloth, bringing colour and character wherever it's used.

Size: 218x157cm (approx)

Wrap Yourself in History

Discover the rich heritage of our curated vintage Kantha quilts. Originating in South Asia, the word kantha refers to the simple, rhythmic running stitch used to layer and quilt beautiful vintage sari fabric together.

Hand-stitched by skilled female artisans in India using these time-honoured techniques, each piece breathes new life into reclaimed saris. Because every quilt is hand-crafted from upcycled, pre-loved textiles, no two pieces are ever the same.

Each offers stunning colour contrasts, rich patterns on one side, and a more mellow aesthetic on the reverse bringing history, sustainability, and soulful artistry into the modern home.

How I Style Them (A Note from Stanley & May)

I absolutely love these quilts and use them all over my own home! Try layering them over the arm of a sofa for an instant pop of colour, or drape them over a crisp white bedspread to bring unique charm and individuality to a bedroom.

They also make fabulous, instant curtains without the need for any sewing. Simply hang them with curtain clips over a drafty doorway. In the summer months, they look stunning utilized as vibrant tablecloths or packed up to use as an eclectic picnic blanket.

Condition & Care

Care Instructions: Incredibly practical as well as stylish; all of our Kantha quilts are machine washable on a cool, separate, gentle cycle. Line dry out of direct sunlight.

Vintage Disclaimer: Due to the age of the repurposed sari fabrics, you may find them to be perfectly imperfect with slight fading, minor patches, or gentle wear. These are not flaws, but rather the cherished history, character, and soul of an authentic, pre-loved textile.
