Kantha Orbital Earrings

WorldFinds was founded to create social impact in artisan communities while being kind to the earth. Its mission is to uplift artisans by creating dignified work, meaningful opportunities and long-term partnerships. From the repurposed textiles to the handcrafted, small-batch production methods used by its artisans all the way to the packing materials, WorldFinds strive for sustainability every step of the way. This journey has been one of progress, not perfection!

Artisans use discarded wood scraps from local furniture factories for our bead bases. Discarded Sari and Kantha textiles are repurposed into our jewellery and accessories. Our artisans make everything by hand, in small workshops or in their homes.

WolrdFinds says: “Kantha quilts are a traditional textile found in abundance in India. They are made from layers of worn cotton saris, sewn together with a distinctive, allover running stitch. Artisans transform fabric scraps into beads for jewellery, which provides new life to a textile that is often discarded. Each Kantha bead has a base made of wood, carved out of scraps gathered from a local furniture factory. We, and the artisans, love sustainable sourcing! Artisans then hand cover each wooden bead with a colourful piece of Kantha fabric, attaching them securely with a safe adhesive. Excess fabric is trimmed off, and the bead is complete.”
