The Shoma Vintage Kantha Jacket is a stunning piece that embodies the rich heritage of traditional Kantha embroidery. Named after the Bengali word for 'beautiful', this jacket pays homage to the cultural significance of the Kantha textile, which has its roots in eastern South Asia, particularly Bangladesh and the Indian states along the Bay of Bengal. Each jacket is a unique creation, made from vintage fabrics that tell their own stories, making it not just a garment but a piece of art.
Kantha is a traditional form of embroidery that originated in the rural areas of Bangladesh and India. Historically, women would take discarded fabric scraps and sew them together using a simple running stitch, transforming old materials into something new and functional. This practice not only provided warmth but also allowed for creativity and storytelling through textiles. The Shoma Vintage Kantha Jacket is crafted from these repurposed fabrics, ensuring that each piece carries a history and a narrative.
This jacket features a classic structured collar that adds a touch of elegance to its overall design. The fabric button closure ensures a secure fit while maintaining the jacket's aesthetic appeal. With comfortable 3/4 sleeves, it is perfect for layering or wearing on its own. Additionally, the jacket includes front pockets, providing practicality without compromising style.
It is important to note that all our Kantha jackets are made from one-of-a-kind vintage fabrics. This means that there may be certain inconsistencies, such as minor tears or imperfections, which are inherent to vintage pieces. These characteristics should not be viewed as flaws but rather as part of the charm and uniqueness of each jacket. We take great care in sourcing our fabrics and strive to minimize any noticeable imperfections.
The Shoma Vintage Kantha Jacket is made from 100% cotton, ensuring comfort and breathability. To maintain the integrity of the fabric and the embroidery, we recommend dry cleaning only. This will help preserve the vibrant colors and intricate designs that make Kantha textiles so special.
