Rooted in a centuries-old tradition from Rajasthan — the Bunchberry Vintage Handmade Bagru Block Print Kantha Throw is a vintage piece with a story already written into it. Hand block-printed in the ancient Bagru tradition and finished with fine hand-run Kantha stitching across the surface, each throw is crafted by skilled artisans using intricately carved wooden blocks and natural dyes: deep indigo from indigofera plants, rust red from madder root, iron black from rust and tannin. The fabric is prepared through a traditional mordanting process before printing, so the colours bond deeply with the cotton and age beautifully over time.

Because these are vintage pieces, the cotton carries a soft, naturally washed quality — subtly faded, gently worn — giving each throw the quiet warmth of something that has already lived a little. The Kantha stitching runs in fine, delicate rows across the surface, creating the gentlest ripple on the thin cotton without bulk or heaviness.

Look closely and you'll see the soft, slightly fuzzy edges of each block stamp — a hallmark of authentic hand printing — and the gentle variation in ink depth that no machine can replicate. No two pieces are ever identical. These are not mass-produced — they are made slowly, by hand, in the way they always have been.
