Like all the finest vintage Kanthas, this one has two completely different personalities.

One side combines fresh primrose, turmeric, orange and spring green in a striking geometric design. Turn it over and you'll find our favourite side: elegant paisley motifs in soft spring green with touches of saffron and burnt orange. The quieter palette lets the intricate hand stitching shine.

Hand stitched from layers of vintage cotton saris, every Kantha is completely one of a kind.

At Stanley & May we chose Fresh Zest because it works almost anywhere. Fold it across a bed, drape it over a sofa, use it as a lightweight summer quilt or turn it into beautiful curtains. However you style it, it brings warmth, colour and character to a room

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.
