ALL PROCEEDS go directly to our cause to support health and education programs for children in rural India.

Bangalore Silk is known for its simplicity, purity, and texture of Silk, which is meticulously produced in the Southern Indian silk farms of Bangalore, Karnataka.

Kantha saris" are traditionally worn by women in Bengal region of the Indian subcontinent. In these days, embroidery is stitched, popularly known as 'kantha stitched", on sari, and many other garments and gaining popularity due to their aesthetic value and handmade characteristics.

The legendary Nakshi Kantha which is registered with the Geographical Indications (GI) registry, is the best example among the embroideries of Bengal. Nothing embodies the tradition of women's creativity better than this. Whether as an ornate wedding quilt or a simple cover for daily use, the kantha remains one of the most illustrative quilts in India.

The foundation for kantha-making lies in the creative use of the simple running stitch that secures the layers of rags. The running stitch, both utilitarian and decorative, reinforces the fabric and creates lines, fields of color and motifs. Various renderings of the stitch form the kantha's characteristic rippled effect. Stitches include the running, darning, loop, and stem and split stitches; the satin and chain stitches are used to create solid areas.
