Sissel Edelbo - Tufted jacket - Hedvig no. 1 - pp

The Hedvig Tufted Jacket is a loose-fitting jacket that is upcycled from a kantha rug. The jacket has tufted patterns on the lower body and sleeves. The soft tufted artwork is handcrafted and showcases different types of tufted designs on each jacket. The jacket has a delicate shawl collar, dropped shoulders, two front pockets and a detachable belt that accentuates a feminine fit.

This unique item is upcycled from a vintage Kantha rug. A kantha rug is made from old cotton fabrics such as saris that are layered and stitched together by hand using the traditional kantha embroidery technique. This technique is characterized by many rows of short, continuous stitches – a method that has been used in India for hundreds of years and is especially common among rural women. The Kantha embroidery technique creatively upcycles old cotton saris previously worn by Indian women and gives them new life as upcycled garments, rugs or bedspreads. Each Kantha product is unique in both print and color combination.
