A beautiful floral bedspread, inspired by lush tropical gardens & the nostalgic East India company Chintz fabrics from the 1800's. Perfect if you wish to bring in a bit of nature into your bedroom & imagine yourself transported to a tropical paradise with this beautiful print.
Beautifully handmade by Indian artisans on a lovely cornflower blue background & finished off with the age old "kantha" stitch, this bedspread has the print on one side & is plain on the other side. This throw is so versatile & can be used for any kind of look, be it coastal, bohemian or country style or even rustic. Inspired by textile designer Shakiras' love for East India Chintz from the 1800's & tropical prints.
"Kantha work" is a family skill (an embroidery) passed on from mother to daughter, originating from the north eastern states in India, wherein old saris, dhotis & old cloth pieces are stitched together using the running stitch to make light weight quilts or throws. Thus each piece is totally unique & this embroidery renders a slightly crinkled or wavy effect to the original patchwork of materials.
Loose threads & some imperfections are characteristic of this type of handmade product. Please note the placement of the print on the shams might vary since it is cut out from an all over print of the bedspread.
