- Jane P5 contributionsSo good I had to go back for moreI by chance happened across this store and how lucky was I. While the store is relatively small, it has a good range and very high quality Kantha work at reasonable prices. On my first visit I purchased some dupattas and wonderful bead necklaces. When I got back to my hotel and looked at them more closely, they were so beautiful that I returned and bought more things. The staff are really helpful and knowledgeable, and I would highly recommend a visit if you love high quality hand crafted textiles.Visited December 2023Travelled with familyWritten 10 February 2024
- Anjali G2 contributionsExceptional quality dupattas, sarees and stolesI highly recommend buying at this place because of its unique style, exceptional quality, and extraordinary customer service. The owner, Farah, is super nice and easy to work with. She goes out of her way to make sure that the product quality is maintained. The entire staff makes shopping a very pleasant and memorable experience.Visited June 2024Travelled soloWritten 30 August 2024
- Faisal SiddiqiMumbai, India1 contributionI had been to Kolkata with my friends and after looking all over for good kantha souvenir I found this shop "The KanthaI had been to Kolkata with my friends and after looking all over for good kantha souvenir I found this shop "The Kantha Store" Truly it is one stop shop for Bengals Heritage Kantha. It's specially suitable for people coming to Kolkata from overseas. You don't have to search many shops. Every thing is available here at fair prices under one roof. I am going back happy 😊Visited August 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 2 September 2024

I unexpectedly found the Kantha Store when visiting Kolkata. What a great shopping find! Beautiful scarves/shawls and other items with the Kantha embroidery. Farah was present and showed me the ‘wrist handled’ purses (leaving hands free). I hesitated, and only purchased two beautiful scarves and a necklace. Later on my journey in West Bengal and Sikkim, I emailed the store and asked if I could buy three of the purses … and could they deliver them to the hotel where I was staying near the Kolkata airport the night before my 3am international flight. They could and did! I am so thankful they were so cooperative, and so very pleasant to deal with this special request. I look forward to using one purse, and gifting two to friends for the upcoming holiday!
