Sasha Embroidery Cooperative Embroidery

Meet the women of Sasha Embroidery Cooperative from West Bengal. They carry on a tradition of embroidered story-telling, called kantha, said to be the oldest form of embroidery in India. They are a fair trade group whose lineage goes back to Mother Teresa who helped them organize after a deadly exodus from the former war-torn East Pakistan. Today, the grand daughters of the original artist continue their stitched traditions producing some of the finest work we’ve seen.
