Handmade Kowdhi quilts supporting rural artisans—cotton fabric, two-layered upcycled quilt, quilted in cotton thread with a plain fabric at the back and no batting inside, is medium-weight and manageable.
Size: 40 inches x 43 inches. Weight: 650 grams.
This quilt has prevented 0.65 kilograms of textile waste from reaching landfills and represents over 46 hours of meticulous work by skilled women artisans in rural north Karnataka. The hidden costs of water contamination, energy waste, and environmental destruction are far greater than the investment in a sustainable, upcycled product.
