This is an antique Indian Kantha, it is a rare indigo dyed piece. It is full of chambray and it is made with the most luxe cotton. This piece is and absolute dream to wear and style. Kantha quilts use a straight quilt stitch technique, known as a running stitch, as opposed to the tight American quilting technique. They are similar in that both techniques have been passed down from generation to generation. It is completely reversible. Please note: it is important to note that Kantha quilts snag much easier than American quilts. If this is something that would bother you, please consider other items. This is a Lady Lancaster 10/10. It looks great with everything in your closet and is so flattering. Please note: when Lady Lancaster photographed this in a recent Montana shoot she snagged this on a cacti which is the reason you will find the two heart patches on the shoulders. If you live in a warmer climate or your body runs hot, this is perfect for you because of how lightweight it is. Please note: the sleeves are 2” longer than our standard Helen pattern.

Please note that all of our jackets are made from antique quilts and the fabric reflects this. Our fabrics are sometimes older than 100 years and we believe that makes them perfectly imperfect. This is what makes them a one-of-a-kind piece of art. All of our garments are pre-washed in a special restoration quilt wash. We recommend spot cleaning if necessary.
