Embroidery design: Our embroidery designs are named after our favourite parts of North-West Bangladesh. Rangpur was the home of the pioneering feminist Begum Rokeya.
Colours: Our bespoke colour palette is named after the mothers who make our blankets and their children.
The dolly bedding set comes presented in a re-usable cotton drawstring bag, hand-crafted from a vintage sari offcut, with a packaging insert sharing the story of our social enterprise mission.
The label hand-stitched into the blanket features the geo-coordinates of the village in North-West Bangladesh where they are made, and the maker has hand-embroidered her name and the blanket’s unique number on the label.

Khushi Kantha means “happy blanket” in Bengali – a fitting name for the social enterprise behind these beautifully vibrant baby blankets that do good.
The brand was set up to create sustainable employment for women in Bangladesh, after founder Laura was gifted a bundle of traditional, hand-stitched kantha blankets for her newborn half-Bangladeshi twins. The brand’s artisans are a community of mothers in the village of Rajarampur in north-west Bangladesh.
Khushi Kantha has four key values driving their ethical business. Resilience ensures the blankets are designed to last, instilled with the strength of the mothers who make them. Regeneration centres breathing new life into everything they do, from upcycling materials to regenerating local communities.
Re-envisaging community means the team is always thinking up ways to use collaborative power to build better futures for everyone. And lastly, Khushi Kantha is all about reframing the narrative. They champion “made in Bangladesh” as a statement of pride through their blankets, which show off exquisite local craftsmanship.
The distinctive, high-quality blankets are a handy addition to any new parent’s baby bag, coming to the rescue in all kinds of scenarios. They can double up as a make-shift changing mat, a pram liner, playmat, breastfeeding cover or sunshade.
Each Khushi Kantha blanket arrives in a reusable cotton drawstring bag, handcrafted from a vintage sari off-cut, together with a photo and story about its maker. Follow in the Bangladeshi tradition of gifting one to the parents-to-be in your life.
