Covered Vintage Kantha Quilt Organizer

This repurposed storage organizer is made from recycled kantha quilts. Kantha is a traditional handicraft originating in Eastern India, made by layering old saris (traditional women's clothing), and scraps of fabric, and then applying intricate sashiko stitching. It is hand-sewn for use in the home as bedding and floor coverings, rather than as a commercial product, and no two quilts are alike.

Because it is made from multiple layers of thin fabric, the thickness increases over time, as the upper layers wear away, revealing the underlying layers, creating a unique color gradation and pattern.

This product is made from a used Kantha quilt (sample images shown) with a vinyl interior layer. Because the fabric is repurposed, its composition cannot be determined. The fabric may have patches or worn elements. If the fabric becomes dirty, gently pat the exterior with a wet towel and wipe the interior with a towel, then dry thoroughly before use. Colors, patterns, and designs are assorted. 

Made in India.

Since its founding in Japan in 2007, the brand has operated on the premise that the most interesting materials are those that already have a life behind them.  Puebco works with salvaged and reclaimed sources — recycled military tents and clothing, decommissioned mail bags, truck upholstery, and repurposed parachutes — redesigning them into garments, bags, rugs, and home goods and bringing new life to the materials. Items are made in small batches to keep overproduction minimal and each run intentional.
