Celebrating centuries of craftsmanship.
J. Catma supports artisans in India as they produce goods in small batches, so they can continue the tradition of their crafts.
Kantha, the ancient embroidery tradition from India, can be traced back to the first or second century. The needlework gave new life to old cloth by upcycling and repurposing various fabrics. Traditionally, the technique was used to create quilts, encompassing layers of old cotton or silk cloth sewn together using a running stitch, or kantha stitch, of coarse thread. The J. Catma Kantha Blanket now applies this unique approach to exclusively sourced, colorful vintage textiles resulting in these soft, thick, one-of-a-kind indigo blankets. Durable but lightweight enough for cool nights in warmer months, this blanket only improves with age and use. Use it as a throw, bedspread or gorgeous tablecloth. All pieces are one of a kind and come directly from artisans in India who curate and produce them in small batches.
