Jackie Quilt

$385.00

Dating back centuries, Indian women stitched together old saris to create beautiful blankets and floor cloths, giving new life to timeworn textiles.

Each one-of-a-kind quilt, typically 60 to 80 years old, is selected for its character, beautiful imperfections, and unusual color and texture. No two are ever alike.

Carefully shampooed and softened multiple times, each quilt is wonderfully supple, soft enough to snuggle into, yet durable enough for upholstery.

A beautiful piece of history to live with, love, and perhaps one day pass down as your own heirloom.
