Kiwi Green Kantha Kimono Jacket - By Adushka

Hand-embroidered Kiwi Green Kantha Kimono Jacket with Multicolored Embroidery - By Adushka

This By Adushka Kimono Jacket will ensure admiration thanks to its original, colorful cotton-blend composition. Made entirely by hand in India, it is the perfect jacket for mid-seasons. It has a relaxed fit and dropped shoulders that make it super comfortable. What we love the most about this jacket is the hand-embroidered colorful details.

The Kantha garments, typical of Bangladesh and West Bengal, are an ancient tradition of resourcefulness and fine stitchery. For centuries, women in these areas have made Kantha cloth of various sizes, passing this skill on from generation to generation. Kantha’s in the home were precious objects to the family, and were stitched for loved ones as gifts of thanks and blessings. Women developed their own individual stitches, almost like a signature, as a unique form of expression, and a sense of individuality and creativity. With designs ranging from geometric to highly decorative, no two Kanthas are ever alike, with each recalling the very hand of their maker.
