Patch of Home Gamcha Cushion Cover

The Thought Behind It

The Patch of Home gamcha cushion cover is more than a decorative accent, it’s a woven memory of craft, community, and colour. Created from traditional Bengal gamchas, each piece carries the tactile rhythm of kantha hand-stitching, a time-honoured embroidery technique passed down through generations. These covers are sewn by women in Kolkata who work in partnership with an NGO, Dakshini Prayash, that provides their children access to education. The result is not just a handcrafted object, but a quiet revolution of skill and care.

Each set includes two covers, made from different cuts of handwoven gamcha fabric. No two covers are the same — colour and pattern variations are part of their charm, a celebration of the handmade and the human. The fabric’s lightweight softness contrasts beautifully with the intricate, meditative stitching that defines kantha embroidery.

This cushion cover brings a slice of Eastern India’s warmth into your home — equal parts refined and grounded. Place it in your reading corner, on a quiet bench, or layered on a bed — it blends effortlessly and invites reflection.

The Patch of Home gamcha cushion cover is an intentional object, one that holds the essence of thoughtful making, cultural identity, and dignity. A cushion with soul, hand-stitched in solidarity.
