kantha vintage lite long crop jacket sushila

Kantha Lite is our re-imagined version of the traditional Waste to Wonder Kantha—crafted to make heritage more accessible without taking away from the people who create it.

Traditional Kantha is made from multiple layers of recycled sarees, stitched together by hand. It is a craft born from women in villages, from resourcefulness and survival. It was never meant to be exclusive.

Kantha Lite keeps that story alive, but transforms the construction. We reduced the layers—not the values. We lightened the weight—not the wages. Every piece is still hand-crafted using the same centuries-old technique, just designed with a softer drape and a more open silhouette.

Whether you choose a jacket, cape, poncho or wrap, Kantha Lite holds the soul of the original craft—made for those who want to wear handmade with ease, comfort, and year-round versatility.

A lighter touch. A wider circle.
This is Kantha Lite.

What is a Long Crop Jacket? A Long Crop Jacket is a refined take on the classic cropped silhouette — slightly longer than a traditional crop, designed to fall gracefully around the mid-hip (about 61 cm / 24 inches). It combines the contemporary shape of a crop jacket with the versatility and ease of a full-length piece. Perfect for layering, it adds effortless style to dresses, pants, or skirts — offering structure, comfort, and a touch of modern elegance to every look.

Unique and Versatile: Two Jackets in One Your Crop jacket is truly one-of-a-kind. As the only piece of its kind, it's exclusively yours. But that's not all - it's also fully reversible. Feeling like a change? Simply flip it inside out for a completely different look. It's like having two unique jackets in your wardrobe, each telling its own story through vibrant vintage fabrics and intricate Kantha stitching.

Size Inclusive We believe great style should be accessible to all. Our Crop jackets are available up to size EU48/UK20/US18.

Wear Your Impact: A Sustainable Statement When you slip on a Fifth Origins Crop jacket, you're wearing Priya and her sisters' artwork. They are a skilled artisan team from a small village in West Bengal, India. Priya and her sisters transform forgotten sarees into beautiful, wearable art, using techniques passed down through generations. Your purchase helps Priya and her fellow craftswomen earn a fair wage, support their family, and keep their traditional craft alive. It's not just a jacket - it's their story, their creativity, and a step towards a more sustainable future. Look amazing while making a real difference in these women's lives and our mother nature. That's fashion that truly matters.
