"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.

Perfect!

I've been looking at this jacket on line for about a year. I've loved everything about it, but the price has always given me pause. I'm a textile artist myself, and am aware of what kind of work goes into something like this. I sold enough over the holiday to be able to get myself a present, and decided that I would go for it with this piece. The day it came, I put it on at around 11:00am, and realized I was still wearing it at 9:00pm. It's really comfortable, and just as beautiful as it looks on the website. And really easy to wear!
If it needs cleaning, I will dry clean it, but I did notice that there are no washing instructions on it, so perhaps that could be added? Or maybe I missed them. Quite possible in my impatience to get it out of the box and put it on....
I'm really thrilled with my purchase, and pretty much everything I've purchased from artful home.

Great jacket!!!

I bought this jacket in 2020 and loved it - I was wearing it in 2022 when I was in a terrible auto accident - the ER cut off all my clothes but refused to cut off this beautiful jacket and managed to get me out of it - I survived the accident as did the jacket and we are both happily going out together again! Thank you Meiko for your beautiful clothes!

Beautiful jacket!

This is a gorgeous, gorgeous jacket. I love that it goes with everything - casual jeans to dressy black pants. The craft work is amazing. Can't wait to wear it on my Japan trip next month.

Lovely jacket

Jacket is beautifully made, and really reversible. It should be good for layering and travel.
I was very disappointed that the "accent color" around the collar and the patch pockets on reverse side was NOT the beautiful sky blue shown online, but a much more predictable bright red. Since I can work with that, I'll keep the jacket, but wish I had been warned that there might be a significant difference between what is shown on line and the garment I received.

Beautiful & Versatile Layering Piece

I'm 5'8" and normally wear a size 14. This jacket fits really well; I love the cropped, kimono style that can be worn casually (like a jean jacket) and dressed up (with my wide-leg black pants). I'm always looking for a layering piece to wear with jeans or a black base (pants/skirt/dress). Both color options would do this - I struggled deciding, but very happy with the Blue.
