Our Story

Welcome,

TO KANTHA BAE

I started this little shop over 5 years ago with a heart to see people and a love for all things handmade. I have an amazing family around me that includes my husband Landon and our 5 sweet babes along with our KB team of beautiful souls that partner in our vision and dream to share light in the world. Together we want to tell a story of hope, light and purpose.

Our Story

Found, Maker, Visionary

Our shop partners with families in India and Bangladesh and the US to make all the beautiful textiles, handmade goods, and homewares you find in our marketplace. We know these souls by name and are active participants in their daily lives. We are all growing together to bring a different story to the retail market and give a platform and voice to those to have amazing gifts to share to the world.

Designer, Wife, Mama

I believe in mamas and sisterhood and community; that we can't do life alone and we weren't meant to. I want my shop to be a platform for that. I hope that as you wear kantha, you feel a part of something bigger and that you are strong and brave.

Community First

You are a HUGE part of this storytelling and I invite with open hands to know us and know our community. Join our private Facebook Group called the Kantha Bae Besties. This group is a soul group of life giving community where we do life together and share our hearts in this life journey

The Why,

I’ve always wanted to partner with organizations that make differences in women’s lives. I’ve also burned with a heart for India since doing mission work there in 2006. I am so grateful to have found partners in Northern India and in Bangladesh that allow me to carry out the "why" of my business... making a difference in lives and helping others share their stories.

Thank you wholly for shopping here, we see you and want to know you. Let's walk together. And please reach out if we can open our hands to you in any way. From our home and hearts...welcome and thank you!
