Kantha Sari Throw - Green Daisy

Women in India and Bangladesh save fabric from their favorite saris, and stitch them together with colorful thread to create these one-of-a-kind cotton sari throws. Hand-sewn by fair trade artisans in South Asia, the multiple, quilted layers make these kantha throws soft and warm.

Our vibrant sari blankets are also reversible, so when you need a fresh look just flip them over.
