Mieko Mintz

"Traditionally, kantha were supposed to help keep their wearers safe from harm and aid in obtaining happiness and prosperity, all of which Mieko wishes for you."

Born in southern Japan, Mieko Mintz uses handcrafted textiles from around the world to make contemporary pieces. Her signature line includes jackets made from vintage sari kantha, each with its own variety of colors and its own story.

Mintz's work follows in the kantha tradition. First, her designs are made into kantha throws in West Bengal, which she then cuts to fit her jacket designs. Her focus is a kantha line that is not only comfortable, but also contemporary and sophisticated.

Cuttings left over from making the jackets are recycled one more time to create hats, bags, and jewelry.

Beautiful but...

Sadly, this long vest looks much better in the catalog than it doesn't person. It doesn't hold it shape and i it is actually bland unlike the photo in the catalog. I'm disappointed.. I had hoped it would be more, especially after the investment price wise.

Kantha Patchwork vest size 1

I love this vest. I was afraid it would be too big. It is a little big big but doesn't seem to be a problem because I am a small person.
I can't wait to wear it. I love this designer.

Too expensive but distinctive vest

Others have commented on price.
It is way too expensive.
I kept as travelling and actually it's thin material makes it good for packing.
Not good value for money, but reversible and it does have pockets!

Disappointed

The Meiko vest is very thin with no substance...I have three pieces of hers and none are thin like this!!! Then it has really heavy closure snaps - much too heavy for the fabric . I waited 4 months for delivery (which I knew before hand) but the flimsyness ruins the excitement not what I expected from her.
