Hailing from the Rangpur region of Bangladesh, master artisan Sona Rani Roy is the embodiment of age-old quilting techniques passed down by her agrarian ancestors. A member of the collective behind luxury brand Living Blue, her Textile creations are celebrated as works of art. Taking six months to complete, this delicately woven quilt is a tribute to the often unsung labours of the rural women of Bangladesh. The ‘white on white’ or WoW piece consists of five painstakingly stitched quilted layers; a Textile tradition that local women are taught by their mothers and lovingly embraced as a cultural duty. Weaving her own family lineage into every layer of cotton, Bangladeshi artisan Sona Rani Roy creates a true legacy item.
