About Kantha by Farah Khan in Kalyani Arcade, Fort William, Kolkata

In this world of countless machine made ‘perfect’ generic goods, Farah’s products embrace the imperfection and authenticity of individual handcrafted pieces. Her products are hand embroidered or hand woven and exhibit a kind of timeless creativity unique to the Bengali culture. Each piece is handcrafted by artisans in rural India at their homes with love and care. This makes them unique and exclusive to the extent of being limited edition. Each product is standalone piece of art, one that will never be replicated, worth being passed down as heirloom.
Her labels Farah Khan Kantha and Farah Shawls encourage the growth and much needed revival of fine craftsmanship in hand embroidery. Farah’s artistic expression has transformed the traditional Kantha into a unique art form with a contemporary flavour. In the process, it’s transformed the lives of hundreds of women.
