{"product_id":"slate-grey-printed-katha-semi-linen","title":"Slate Grey Printed Katha Semi Linen","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eKantha began as necessity, not decoration. Rural Bengali women took saris and dhotis too worn to wear and stitched them into something new, layer over layer, bound together with a dense running stitch. What started as reuse became one of Bengal's most recognisable embroidery languages, carried forward for centuries almost entirely through women's hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis saree translates that visual language into print. The body is slate grey, patterned with small mandala-like medallions and a dense scatter of white dots and paisleys, echoing the dense fill-stitch texture Kantha work is known for. The pallu shifts into pale grey and opens up entirely: peacocks in blue and violet perched among red and orange florals, rendered in the bright, slightly folk palette that's carried Kantha's bird-and-flower motifs through generations, peacocks especially, which recur constantly across the tradition as a marker of grace and beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe fabric itself, semi linen, keeps the drape light and slightly textured, closing out in matching grey tassels along the pallu's edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt's a saree that borrows Kantha's visual world rather than its needle, but keeps the motifs, and the meaning behind them, intact.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nakshi Tales","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52765671260445,"sku":null,"price":2899.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/3526\/5821\/files\/ChatGPT_Image_Aug_14_2026_10_16_00_PM.png?v=1786725991","url":"https:\/\/nakshitales.com\/products\/slate-grey-printed-katha-semi-linen","provider":"Nakshi Tales","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
