Women in India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and other countries in Southwest Asia wear saris on a daily basis. The old cotton saree cloth is layered and recycled with embroidery, which is called "Kantha" locally.
Revitalized by modifying the old and breathing it into new life, Kantha is an eco-friendly and unique item that no two pieces in the world are the same.
Originally, it is said that this technique was born from the fact that mothers layered their own saris for their newborn babies, stabbed them, and swaddled them. The carefully pierced fabric is soft and has a slightly poppy feeling that is very comfortable on the skin.
The placemat is about 45 cm wide and 33 cm high, and I use it as a lunch mat, a cover for the headrest, and I use it to prevent dust from the printer.
In addition, since two saris of different colors and patterns are stacked, it can be used on both sides (reversible).
