Vilma Jacket is an oversized bomber jacket made in a mix of teddy and vintage kantha blankets. It is adorned with patchwork flowers on both the front and back, and the yoke features feminine cotton ruffles in broderie anglaise. The jacket has a small collar, a gold metal zipper at front, and elastic is placed inside the sleeve opening. On the inside the jacket is lined with soft teddy fabric.

This unique item is upcycled from a vintage Kantha blanket. A kantha blanket is made of old cotton fabrics such as saris that are placed on top of each other and stitched 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 especially common among women in the countryside. The kantha embroidery technique, creatively upcycles old cotton saris, that previously have been worn by Indian women, giving them new life as upcycled clothing items, blankets, or bedspreads. Each Kantha item is one-of-a-kind in both print and color combination.
