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.

This color is gorgeous

One of the most beautiful necklaces -- the color goes with everything, and the necklace is very comfortable. It's light, so it feels as if I'm not wearing anything -- no drag on the neck. The construction is excellent -- each bead is one of a kind and stunning.

Love, love, love!

I love this artists work. I have 2 of her necklaces and am thinking about getting a third. Her fabrics are stunning and this necklace is in my favorite color family. It goes perfectly with a linen blouse I bought on this same site.

I LOVE this necklace!

I have worn it three times already since receiving, love the way it looks, and always receive one or two compliments on it . People want to know what it is, and are especially fascinated by how light it is.

I'll be ordering another one, i'm sure.
