Sissel Edelbo - Bounty Shopper - Bag

The Bounty Shopper is a soft shopper bag made from vintage kantha blankets, with shorter straps. The front features a large statement pocket decorated with a sequin motif. This unique item is upcycled from a vintage Kantha blanket. A kantha blanket is made from old cotton fabrics, such as saris, which are layered on top of each other and sewn together by hand using the traditional kantha embroidery technique. This technique is characterized by the many rows of short, continuous stitches – a method that has been used in India for hundreds of years and is particularly widespread among rural women. The kantha embroidery technique creatively upcycles old cotton saris previously worn by Indian women, giving them new life as upcycled garments, blankets, or bedspreads. Each Kantha item is unique in both print and color combination.
