Kantha embroidery is more than a craft—it’s storytelling passed through generations.
Originating in Bengal, Kantha involves simple running stitches that create intricate motifs and patterns, often using old fabrics.

Historically, it was a way for rural women to reuse saris and tell personal stories through thread.
Our Kantha sarees at Urbane Essence are made by artisans who preserve this soulful tradition. Each piece carries tales of devotion, resilience, and artistry stitched by hand.
Wearing Kantha is wearing consciousness—fashion that speaks of sustainability and soul.
