Details
Rooted in a centuries-old tradition from Rajasthan — the Cattail 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. 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.

Materials + Care
100% genuine cotton
Wash separately before first use. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Air dry or tumble dry low.
For the best longevity and to preserve the fabric’s beautiful texture, professional dry cleaning is recommended.
A note on Kantha: Kantha is made by hand from layers of textiles. Loose or uneven stitches, small thread tails, slight puckering, and variations in texture are natural parts of the process and are not defects. Do not pull loose threads; trim them carefully if needed.

Woven Cotton, Made by Hand
Bagru is a village outside Jaipur with a centuries-old tradition of working with cloth. A Bagru throw is woven cotton — plain-weave, single layer, flat and breathable. The patterns are bold and the colours are earthy, rooted in a palette that has defined this region's textiles for generations.
It is not a quilt or a heavy blanket. It does not have filling or stitching. It is simply a well-made woven cotton throw with a strong pattern; the kind of thing that works on a sofa, at the end of a bed, or over your shoulders on a cool evening.
"Woven cotton from a village that has been making cloth for centuries. The pattern is bold. The hand is soft. That is all it needs to be."
