This hand stitched KOWDHI quilt connects rural craftsmanship with modern homes. More than bedding; it celebrates sustainability and resilience, made by women artisans from Dambal in North Karnataka, India.

Made from leftover sarees, fabric scraps, and offcuts from garment units, these quilts help to keep the craft’s eco-friendly roots alive, supporting a zero-waste approach and strengthening the local maker community.

Each Kowdhi quilt is made with local yarn bought from street hawkers who gather extra thread from nearby handloom weavers. By purchasing yarn from these small vendors, artisans help keep money in their communities, support local small businesses, and strengthen the craft network in rural Karnataka.

This network of women, weavers, and hawkers shows what real sustainability means. It values people, supports local economies, and cares for the planet all at once.

Every Kowdhi you buy helps keep this tradition going. When you bring home a handmade Karnataka Kowdhi, you support rural women artisans, help preserve local craft skills, and choose a more sustainable way of living.
