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.

Soft and lovely Kantha

The jacket is too warm to wear in high summer, and the color was a little surprising, but it has a lovely hand feel and a good cut. I would like to review this again come September.

I love the snaps

I wore my jacket today for the first time. Bus bag over my shoulder Orca pass in my pocket. Thank you for pockets and snaps. It left me with a free hand, no constant grabbing the front of a jacket to stay warm. I also got a compliment as I often do while wearing one of your pieces.

Love it!

Always looking for jackets that make the outfit, and with pockets! This one does it nicely. Very comfy. I'm 5' 3", but it didn't overwhelm me. Thumbs up from 26 y/o daughter

Lovely jacket

This piece is stunning. A very versatile weight and soft unstructured fit, but the special touch is the handwoven fabric.
