About Khushi Kantha (Happy Blanket)

Founder Laura Rana was inspired to start Khushi Kantha (Happy Blanket) by the birth of her half-British, half-Bangladeshi twin daughters and her long-standing dream to use everything she's learned from many years of living in Bangladesh to support other mothers, whose position she could easily be in herself if circumstances were different. Our journey began with the creation of our sustainable, multi-purpose baby blankets with a vibrant stand-out factor, hand-stitched and embroidered with empowerment from mother to mother. We've since branched out to offer a wider range of products, which regenerate the Bengali 'kantha' tradition to meet global hygiene and safety standards, while retaining its circular principles of reclaim-repurpose-reuse. All our products are hand-made from hand-woven 100% cotton fabric, which is hand-dyed using Oeko-Tex passport certified dyes, and lined with upcycled 'deadstock' fabric from a GOTS-certified Bangladeshi garments factory. We hand-stitch a label into every product featuring the hand-embroidered name of the mother who made it, a unique batch number, and the geo-coordinates of the village where our products are made. Our products comes packaged in re-usable cotton gift bags, hand-crafted from a vintage sari offcut, and accompanied with a packaging insert telling our social enterprise story. Each purchase creates an opportunity for a mother in Bangladesh to provide for her children with dignity and contributes to the circular economy.Read their story
