This is a take on Vincent Van Gogh’s 1889 Starry Night painting.
David includes the cypress trees, low rolling hills of the Alpilles Mountains, and the bright Morning Star (planet Venus) but replaces the French village with Charlotte’s uptown buildings. The Morning Star shines bright next to the Bank of America Corporate Center.

This Kantha top with a colorful tie tassel is a show stopper! Handmade by women artisans in Bengal, using 100% cotton up-cycled saris and the centuries old hand stitching technique known as "kantha". Kantha is done by stacking old saris and hand stitching them together using a simple running stitch to make a patchwork cushioned layer. Because of the unique patches of saris sown together to create each blouse, no two are the same.

Oh, I should mention we also carry queen size kantha quilts (shown as the model’s backdrop), as well as napkins, dish towels and bandanas.
Embrace the kantha culture! Embrace textile artistry!
