Explore Kantha stitch sarees on silk and tussar, with flowing embroidered motifs across the body, border and pallu.
What is Kantha stitch?
Kantha is a traditional running-stitch embroidery from Bengal. Rows of small, even stitches form flowers, birds, vines and everyday scenes, giving each saree a textured, handmade feel.
Because Kantha is worked by hand, no two hand-embroidered sarees are exactly alike. Small variations in the stitching are a sign of handwork, not a flaw.
Kantha on tussar and silk
Kantha looks especially rich on tussar silk, whose natural texture and sheen frame the embroidery. You will also find batik and printed sarees here that use Kantha work as an accent on the pallu or border.
Frequently asked questions
Is every saree here hand embroidered?
Most are hand-embroidered Kantha sarees. A few are printed in a Kantha style, and the product name and description say so.
How do I care for a Kantha stitch saree?
Dry clean it. When ironing, turn the saree inside out and use low heat so the embroidery stays raised and neat.
