Each Kantha Jackets is Unique
Sai Long Quilted Jacket
The Sai is a long, oversized quilt coat made from repurposed vintage Kantha quilts, hand-stitched in India and reworked into a relaxed, reversible silhouette. With its easy oversized fit, mandarin collar and distinctive patchwork, it brings colour, texture and history to everyday dressing.
Designed with a double-sided button closure and roomy pockets on both sides, the Sai offers practical details without compromising on character. Roll the sleeves to adjust the length or reveal the contrasting reverse, and wear it open over everyday layers or buttoned up as a statement coat. Each side features its own combination of vintage colours, patterns and stitching, giving you two distinct looks in one piece.
Lightweight, breathable and softly structured, the Sai is an easy quilted coat to layer throughout the year. Wear it over a T-shirt on milder days or layer it over knitwear when temperatures drop. Its long silhouette provides extra coverage while the oversized fit leaves plenty of room to move and layer comfortably, making it a versatile choice for changing seasons and travel.
Made from 100% recycled cotton in Jaipur, India, every Sai is crafted from a unique vintage Kantha quilt. Original patches, faded colours, uneven stitching and other signs of age are part of the fabric’s history, so no two coats are alike. Each piece is one of a kind, with only one made from its original quilt.
More than a practical fall coat, the Sai is a distinctive, wearable piece of textile history — a coat that draws compliments, sparks conversation and brings a personal touch to even the simplest outfit.

Each jacket is made from a repurposed vintage cotton Kantha quilt, hand-stitched and reworked into a one-of-a-kind piece. Lightweight yet structured, the fabric has a soft, worn-in feel that reflects its history.
Signs of age, including patches, fading and fraying, are part of each quilt’s character and tell the story of its previous life. These details are embraced rather than hidden, making every jacket unique.
No two vintage Kantha quilts are alike, so each Namai Kantha Jacket is one of a kind, with only one piece made from each original quilt.
FAQ
-
Namai’s long quilted jackets begin as vintage Kantha quilts — layered cotton textiles stitched by hand decades ago. Each quilt carries its own layout, repairs, stitching patterns, and visible history, making every coat a true one-of-one, with no two alike.
Every piece is also fully reversible, finished cleanly on both sides with functional pockets. Instead of synthetic fill or technical insulation, the coat reflects the authentic character of the original quilt, offering a breathable, expressive alternative to mass-produced long coats. -
Because each quilt has its own thickness and texture, the movement and hand-feel naturally vary. Long jackets create a clean, elongated line and still allow ease of movement thanks to the flexible nature of Kantha quilts. Namai’s long silhouettes measure around 34.25" from the collar, offering fuller coverage and a more dramatic presence. By contrast, cropped styles measure closer to 14", creating a sharper, modern proportion.
Both share the same comfortable, breathable feel—your choice depends on how much coverage and visual impact you prefer. -
Each silhouette offers its own styling experience:
- Cropped quilted jackets create a sharp, modern proportion.
- Mid-length silhouettes offer everyday versatility.
- Long quilted jackets offer fuller coverage and the clean, elongated line of a coat while maintaining ease of movement.
All silhouettes are reversible and one-of-one; the best choice comes down to styling preference and the type of coverage you want.
- Cropped quilted jackets create a sharp, modern proportion.
-
Long quilted jackets can be machine washed on a delicate cycle, cold water, mild detergent, and laid flat to dry. Namai machine-washes every piece before photographing and shipping it to ensure stability.
Because vintage quilts naturally show age — fading, repairs, texture variations — gentle handling keeps the textile in good condition. Namai also offers lifetime repairs, supporting long-term wear.
-
Because each coat is made from a unique vintage quilt, the thickness varies from piece to piece. Long silhouettes provide more coverage than cropped or mid-length styles, helping keep warmth closer to the body while remaining breathable. They’re not technical winter coats, but they function beautifully as seasonless layers for fall, spring, travel, and cooler transitional months.
For the specific quilt used in each piece, refer to the “Meet the Materials” section where the fabric weight is listed. -
Authentic Kantha quilts are created by layering recycled cotton and securing it with thousands of hand-sewn running stitches. Namai transforms these exact heritage textiles — complete with natural variations, fading, repairs, and layout — into long quilted silhouettes.
Because the textiles are genuinely one-of-one and structurally stitched by hand, each coat is a true Kantha piece, not a printed imitation of patchwork. -
Yes. Namai repurposes vintage Kantha quilts, extending the life of textiles that already exist. Jackets are made in small batches by artisan teams who practice heritage stitching traditions. This reduces waste, preserves craft, and avoids the mass-production cycles common in commercial “sustainable clothing.” Each coat is also reversible and repairable, supporting long-term wear.
