From Rags to Beautiful Riches
Kantha textiles are amongst India’s most treasured artisanship.
Translating to “rags”, Kantha began by sewing together old scraps with a simple stitch. This practice has now been handed down across generations but the authenticity and simplicity of this unique handloom has never lost its charm.
Why Choose Runee
Keeping the heritage alive
Dating back to almost 500 years ago, Kantha is one of the oldest forms of embroidery in India, originating from the most humble of beginnings. Despite being ingrained in our cultural heritage this simple yet stunning form of stitching has often been overlooked and Runeé is a conscious effort to save this exquisite age-old art form from dying.
A Step towards Sustainable fashion
The concept of sustainable fashion and ethical clothing has gone beyond a trend, it has now become the need of the hour and Kantha is the epitome of sustainable fashion. Translating to old rags, artisans would make kanthas by recycling, layering and stitching together old sarees and pieces of cloth making them the example of recycling at its best.
Exclusive Handlooms
Our kantha sarees are completely handmade and depict the hardwork, determination and creativity of the local artisans. Every kantha saree is unique and will surely be a great addition in every saree lover’s wardrobe. The authenticity, quality and exclusivity of our kantha pieces make Runeé the perfect choice for your saree needs.
