Kantha Work

The Kantha Work collection brings together kantha-inspired tussar sarees and mul cotton kurtis for shoppers who like simple stitched-look patterns on soft, easy fabrics. It has four pieces, priced from Rs 999 to Rs 1450, and is meant for everyday wear, office days and relaxed family occasions. Every piece comes factory-direct from Surat.

What makes kantha work special

Kantha is the running-stitch tradition of Bengal, known for rows of small, even lines that create texture, borders and motifs. In this collection you will find that character in a kantha border on a tussar saree, a kantha print with a zari border, and a kantha work V neck kurti in mul cotton.

How to choose

• Tussar saree: two sarees here, the Cocoa Checks Kantha Border and the Teal and Cream Soft Tussar Kantha Print with Zari Border. Tussar has a dry, natural feel and drapes well for daytime events.
• Mul cotton kurti: two kurtis, including the Kantha Work V Neck and the Dusty Peach with Duck Motif Digital Print. Mul cotton is light and soft, a sensible choice for warm days.
• Occasion: choose the zari border saree for a small celebration, and the kurtis or the checks saree for regular wear.

Care

Wash mul cotton gently in cold water with a mild detergent and dry it in shade. Keep tussar sarees for dry cleaning or very gentle hand washing, and avoid wringing or harsh sunlight. Fold stitched and zari borders carefully so they stay flat.

Price guide

Prices in this collection run from Rs 999 to Rs 1450, and most of the best sellers sit around Rs 999. That makes it easy to start with a single kurti or saree without a large spend.
