Confetti Kantha Bead Coil Bracelet

• Hand-wrapped textile beads
• Multicolor mixed-print silhouette
• Coiled memory wire for a stretch-free fit
• Gold-toned metal bead accents

Every bead is wrapped from a different scrap of remnant fabric, so no two bracelets carry quite the same mix of colors and prints.

The fabric wound around each bead is kantha cloth, a running-stitch textile from West Bengal and Bangladesh in which layers of old saris and cotton wraps are stitched together into new, sturdy material. Historically it was a way to keep worn textiles in use, turning frayed saris into quilts and wraps.

Because the cloth is upcycled, every bead is cut from a different piece of recycled sari or cotton, so the bracelet's color field is really a small archive of prior garments: a stripe here, a floral there, a solid weave next to it. That patchwork logic is central to kantha, not incidental.

On this piece, dozens of those beads are massed into one dense, rounded form, so the bracelet reads less like a single motif and more like a hand-assembled mosaic, with small gold-toned beads breaking up the color at intervals.

• Technique: Kantha textile wrapping

Keep away from moisture, perfume and rough handling. Store flat in a dry place when not being worn.
