Restocked! Wrap Yourself in Amami Island's Overdye Blankets Made From Vintage Textile
|
|
|
Soaked with character, Light Year's vintage Kantha blankets are overdyed with mud, indigo and sharimbai in Japan's southern most island of Amami. These blankets originate in Eastern India, where anywhere from 2 to 5 saris are stacked on top of each other and hand-stitched to create a soft and slight cushion. Each blanket has distinct patches, stitching and patterns that express their one-of-a-kind character.

The history of Kantha blankets dates back centuries in India, where Indian women would stitch together old saris and fabric to create large blankets and cushions. Kantha is the sanskrit word for 'rags,' and cloth was believed to provide protection from harm. Today, these textiles are highly valued for their craftsmanship and uniqueness. We've received a limited number of Light Year's Kantha blankets, now available online.
