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.

Necklace only has 2 stones

In the listing, the necklace appears to have 2 gray stones and one white. The white is an empty frame lying on a white background. I did not think it as pretty without the third stone.

Size not as expected

Beautifully hand crafted. BUT the "balls" are much larger than appears in the photo. For reference for purchaser, Description should include circumference of the largest and also smallest ball. I plan to have it reworked by adding a length of chain to back of neck so the large balls will not be so close to my face. An added expense unfortunately. It is beautiful as is all Meiko's work.

I think I shall get one for me.

This was a gift for our daughter who loves large beads. I almost did not give it to her. She loved it. The colors are lovely, the stitches make the beads and it is a perfect length.
