kantha quilt madness
kantha quilt madness
Im all for items that are repurposed and the proceeds of which go to a good cause. Im also a big fan of one-of-a-kind. This is one of the reasons Ive been trying to convince the mister that a kantha quilt, although begin technically "used" could live at the end of our bed as a throw. Kantha quilts are made from several layers of saris, usually as a cottage industry by women who are not allowed to work, and so providing means to an income. Theres heaps of them on ebay....
They are usually under a hundred dollars on ebay, which I think is very reasonable for all the work involved. SO, whats the madness? Urban Outfitters has begun offering these on their site for $279.00 !!!
What is up with that? I know these guys have to cover retail costs, but still, seems bit excessive, no? I know where Ill be shopping... x am
(dont forget to enter the giveaway for the tribal cuff bracelet - its only open til thursday - x )
