Bagh Cotton Kantha Coat One of a Kind

Our Bagh Cotton Kantha Coat is a celebration of color, heritage, and the quiet beauty of handwork. Crafted entirely by hand in India, this one-of-a-kind piece is made using vintage cotton textiles that have lived a life before becoming art once again. Each panel is carefully selected and layered, then joined together with thousands of tiny kantha stitches, a centuries-old embroidery tradition passed down through generations of women, where every stitch tells a story of patience, resilience, and care.

This coat is fully reversible, offering two distinct moods in one extraordinary garment. One side features bold Bagh-inspired motifs in rich black, warm mustard, and graphic florals that feel grounded and powerful. Turn it inside out and a softer palette of greens and delicate patterns emerges, calmer, more meditative, yet equally striking. The contrast between the two sides makes this coat endlessly versatile, allowing you to dress it up or down depending on your mood, the season, or the moment.

Kantha is not just a technique, it is a philosophy of reuse and respect. Layers of cotton are stacked and hand-stitched together without machines, giving the fabric its signature texture, warmth, and gentle structure. No two kantha coats are ever alike, the variations in color, stitching, and pattern are what make each piece truly irreplaceable. This is slow fashion at its most honest, created in rhythm with human hands rather than production lines.

Jean Marie personally selects each kantha for Pax Philomena, drawn to pieces that feel soulful, balanced, and alive with history. She loves styling this coat over one of our silk tunics or cotton kaftans, finished with a long mala or turquoise necklace to ground the look. Whether worn open as an effortless layering piece or wrapped closer to the body, this coat moves beautifully and flatters every silhouette.

This is not just a coat, it is wearable art, meant to be lived in, traveled with, and passed down. A true heirloom that carries the spirit of the artisans who made it and the stories of the textiles that came before it.
