Long back in rural Bengal and Bangladesh, Kantha work was embroidery done on used apparel, renewing their looks and extending their life. Kantha Work was essentially thread work done on old sarees, dhotis and other apparel. it is a running stitch on the sarees in the form of motifs to enhance the look of the used fabrics it adorned. Bengali women used to mend their old clothes by making designs from a strand of thread off the colorful border of their saris. A craft of skill widely practised by women in rural Bengal, it knew no boundaries of class or status. Be it a woman in a small village or a rich landlady, both devoted their skills and talents to use Kantha for their clothing, either out of need or just out of creative interest.
