Artisan made with love

A dense cluster of small fabric-wrapped beads in coral, moss, lavender, ochre and teal, packed tight into a grape-shaped dangle. Each bead a different scrap; each scrap a different print.

  • Material: Recycled Kantha fabric, wood beads, brass findings
  • Color: Multicolor
  • Drop: 2.5 in (plus hook)
  • Width: 1 in
  • Closure: Fish hook
  • Origin: India

At just over two inches, the cluster reads as one saturated shape from across a room and dissolves into a hundred small prints up close. Light enough to wear all day; loud enough to be the one piece in the outfit.
Details
  • Fabric-wrapped wood bead cluster
  • Recycled Kantha textile
  • Lightweight dangle
  • No two pairs alike

Because each bead is wrapped by hand from recycled fabric, color placement and pattern vary slightly from pair to pair.

The Story

Kantha is a running-stitch textile tradition rooted in Bengal, historically used to layer worn cotton saris and dhotis into fresh cloth — nothing discarded, everything mended and reused. These earrings apply the same reuse ethic on a smaller scale: offcuts of Kantha fabric are wrapped around wood beads and clustered together on brass findings.

Because the fabric is reclaimed rather than woven to order, no two scraps match. The unplanned color mix is the direct evidence of the material's history — a faded floral next to a hand-stitched line next to a solid indigo.

Each pair is assembled bead by bead: fabric squares cut, wrapped tightly around a wood core, secured, then linked with brass findings into a clustered dangle and finished with an ear wire.

Craft & Care
  • Technique: Kantha textile reuse

Keep dry and store away from moisture. Avoid water, perfume and harsh chemicals, and wipe gently with a soft cloth if needed.

Questions

What are these earrings made from?

Small wood beads hand-wrapped in recycled Kantha fabric scraps, assembled into a cluster with brass findings.

Will my pair look exactly like the photo?

Not exactly. Because the fabric is recycled, the mix of colors and patterns is unique to each pair, so yours may vary slightly from the image.

Are they comfortable for all-day wear?

The beads are wood-cored and fabric-wrapped, so despite the clustered look they are lightweight and easy to wear for a full day.

How should I store and care for them?

Store them in a dry place away from moisture, and keep them away from water, perfume and harsh chemicals to protect the fabric and finish.

Where are they made?

Handmade in India, where the recycled Kantha fabric is sourced and each bead is individually wrapped by hand.
