Frequently Asked Questions

Do artisans really receive 70% of the payment?

Yes. In traditional middleman-driven systems, artisans often received only 10–15% of the final product value while multiple middlemen took most of the margin. In our artisan-first model, nearly 70% directly supports the makers behind the craft.

Where are your products sourced from?

Our products are directly sourced from generational Kantha artisan families across Santiniketan, Nanoor, and nearby artisan communities of Bengal.

Why is your artisan-first model different?

Nearly 95% of Kantha products available online pass through multiple middlemen before reaching customers. We work directly with artisan families to create a more transparent and fair system.

What is the DIY Kantha Kit?

Our DIY Kantha Kit includes fabric, printed design, thread, and embroidery frame — so you can stitch your own Kantha artwork at home.
