The Kantha Legacy: Dopain Tussar Kantha Saree

Celebrate India’s rich handloom heritage with this Dopain Tussar Kantha Saree from Lokayan – Handicraft Heritage. This is more than just a garment—it is a tapestry of tradition.

Kantha, traditionally a running stitch used to transform old cloths into new treasures, embodies resourcefulness and enduring beauty. Every single stitch on this luxurious silk piece tells a story of resilience and artistry.
