The QUEEN OF kANTHA: Jeanette Farrier's Kantha Coats and Home Decor

Former costume designer, Jeanette Farrier, sells the most beautiful jackets and throws made from recycled cotton saris. Fabulously soft and lightly quilted, each handstitched piece is a thing of great beauty. I especially love how she combines various patterns and colors. I have a small collection of kantha throws that I found on my trip to Jaipur a few years ago. They're perfect to throw over you on a cool evening. They also look great on a table.
