The Kantha Store

In the heart of Bengal, Kantha is alive.

In the heart of Bengal,
Kantha is alive.

Hand-embroidered in rural Bengal - Months of work. A lifetime of wear. Passed down as an heirloom.

DISCOVER DUPATTAS

Each Kantha dupatta is hand-embroidered over a few months — every flower, bird, and motif placed one stitch at a time by an artisan in rural Bengal. Draped over a plain kurta or an outfit, it becomes the most alive thing in the room.

SHOP DUPATTAS

LIVING HERITAGE

For generations, the women of Bengal have stitched their stories into fabric — in a language so intricate, no machine has ever learned to speak it. Each piece from The Kantha Store carries that history forward, designed not for a season but for a lifetime.

ELEGANCE IN EVERY DRAPE

Hand-embroidered in rural Bengal over months of patient work. What emerges is Kantha — hand-embroidered on pure silk or tussar, impossible to rush and impossible to replicate. Wear it to a wedding, an anniversary, or simply a day when you want to feel extraordinary.

What a fabulous collection! Loved the exquisitely embroidered sarees, dupattas and stoles. Colour, design and kantha embroidery- all are spectacular! Lovely staff, soft spoken, knowledgeable and friendly. And icing on the cake- their collection is priced very reasonably- making this store a must visit in Kolkatta. Loved every minute at The Kantha Store and look forward to returning on another visit!

The Kantha Shop was recommended to me by friends who live in Kolkata. What beautiful works they sell here and I was so pleased they helped me purchase more on line when I returned to Australia. The kantha pieces I have purchased have made beautiful gifts for my friends who delight in fine workmanship and beautiful fabrics. The staff were so helpful also. Thank you once again.

Ever since, I have been planning my purchase based on a whim - a Jamkantha saree that I had seen elsewhere and I had wanted to recreate . I sourced this beautiful electric blue Kantha dupatta from Farah's store and teamed it with a red Jamdani saree to make a lovely saree for myself - hope you all liked my work. Thank you Farah Khan, for the creativity you inspire in all of us with your beautiful products ♥️

I recently visited Farah Khan's kantha store at Park Street.This was my second visit.l had earlier purchased 2 sarees.This time l had a chance encounter with the owner herself who is very charming. Her vibrant presence and her rich collection was just superb.

I bought 2 lovely baby quilts. Lovely Kantha work. The quilts were well packed and the delivery was prompt. Thank you 😊

The best Kantha work you can get. The collection they have is amazing. I was attended by Esther and Kamrun who helped me choose two beautiful dupattas, one kurta material and a stylish neck piece. A must visit for women who are looking for the finest Kantha.

Incredible!! The designs, the jewelry, the embroidery work- and most of all the ladies working there Esther walked right up, guided me through everything and I left so much more knowledgeable and swimming over every piece. Lovely to have met the team and the owner and designer, Farah.

Alia Ali

Superb collection and each piece is artistically unique. Two girls Esther and Shahnaz had lot of passion towards their job and patience in addressing all my stupid questions. This will definitely be one place I will recommend to my family and friends. Appreciate your support to the weavers and services to your customers.
