There’s something quietly powerful about indigo — a colour steeped in history, depth, and feeling. At Namai Studio, we’ve taken this heritage hue and elevated it through the extraordinary craft of quilted Kantha, creating jackets that are as rich in story as they are in style.

A Canvas of History and Craft

Indigo dyed textiles have been cherished around the world for centuries — prized for their deep tone and natural dye roots. In the context of Kantha, this indigo gives form and nuance to a textile tradition that spans generations. Kantha quilting comes from Eastern India and Bangladesh, where women layered worn fabrics — often saris — and stitched them together by hand using running stitches. This practice was born out of care, resourcefulness, and the desire to give new life to well-loved cloth. Each stitch, each line of thread carries both history and heart. 

At Namai, we honour this heritage by repurposing vintage Kantha quilts dyed in rich indigo tones — textiles that have lived a life before becoming a jacket. What results is not just outerwear, but wearable history, revived for today’s wardrobe.

One-of-a-Kind, Inside and Out

Every indigo quilted Kantha jacket from Namai is truly one of one. Because they begin with distinct vintage textiles, no two jackets share the same layout, fade patterns, or stitching details. These aren’t prints or reproductions — these are real, handcrafted pieces that carry their own individual character. 

Take the Kaira Cropped Quilted Indigo Kantha Jacket — its relaxed, boxy silhouette and reversible design means you get two distinct looks in one. With coconut shell buttons, a mandarin collar, and rollable sleeves that reveal contrast interiors, it’s as thoughtful in design as it is rich in character.

Wearable Art Meets Everyday Ease

Indigo quilted Kantha jackets transcend seasons and trends — they are equally at home layered over spring dresses, paired with denim for a casual afternoon, or styled with tailored trousers for a more intentional look. The softness of the repurposed cotton quilt and the relaxed silhouette make these jackets comfortable and expressive — art you can wear, day in and day out.

Because each piece is crafted using handmade techniques and pre-existing textiles, they also represent a deeply sustainable approach to fashion. Nothing is mass-produced, and every textile is given new life — honouring both environmental mindfulness and traditional craft.

More Than a Jacket — A Story You Wear

An indigo quilted Kantha jacket from Namai isn’t just a garment — it’s a narrative woven from generations of skill, dye, and texture. With each wear, you carry forward a piece of craft, colour, and culture. These jackets are perfect for those who seek beauty with meaning, and style with a soul.
