Beige Tussar Silk kantha embroidery stole – A Tribute to Bengal’s Threaded Legacy

This handcrafted kantha embroidery stole is more than a luxurious textile—it’s a story of resilience, art, and heritage. Featuring vibrant multicolor Kantha embroidery on an elegant beige Tussar silk canvas, this stole captures the spirit of Bengal’s timeless artistry. Every thread is hand-stitched by women artisans, turning natural silk into a piece of wearable legacy.

The Elegance of Tussar Silk

Renowned for its organic texture and golden undertones, Tussar silk is derived from wild silkworms. This lightweight, breathable fabric lends a subtle sheen and natural drape, making it the ideal choice for stoles. Its raw beauty pairs perfectly with both minimalist and festive styling. Woven by skilled handloom artisans, our beige Tussar silk base brings softness and structure together in perfect harmony.

What is Kantha Embroidery?

Kantha embroidery is an age-old technique practiced in rural Bengal and parts of Odisha. Traditionally created using simple running stitches, it was once used to upcycle old sarees and dhotis into quilts or wraps. In this kantha embroidery stole, the embroidery tells a more celebratory tale—floral vines, paisleys, and abstract forms stretch across the stole in rich hues like maroon, mustard, teal, and indigo.

Multicolor Embroidery on Beige: Symbolism and Style

The contrast between the neutral beige base and the riot of colors in the Kantha stitchwork symbolizes the balance of simplicity and complexity—something Bengal’s textile traditions are deeply rooted in. This color palette ensures versatility: you can pair it with whites, deep jewel tones, or even denim for a modern Indo-Western look.
