Get to know the full range of Renew Vintage Kantha Pants, made from soft, upcycled 2-layer Indian cotton kantha.
This guide explains each pant style to help you understand the differences in fit, length, waistbands, pockets, and overall vibe of every pair. Whether you prefer a comfy lounge fit, a tapered style, or a wide-leg shape, this post gives you a clear and simple breakdown of the pants we stock and what makes each one unique.
Kantha Palazzo Pants
Kantha Palazzo Pants are a firm favourite here at Kantha HQ. Made from soft recycled 2-layer kantha fabric, they feature a flattering high waist with an elastic drawstring waistband for an easy, adjustable fit. The deep pockets and ultra-wide, long legs give them that relaxed, bohemian flow we all love. They’re comfortable, colourful, effortless to wear in any season and without a doubt our best selling pants style.
Rasika Kantha Pants
Our newest style, Rasika Pants are designed for lovers of beauty, colour and comfort (“Rasika” means one who appreciates the beautiful in Sanskrit). Made from two thoughtfully paired kantha blankets, they bring an effortless, artistic silhouette that feels relaxed yet striking. The high elastic waistband with a drawstring gives a flexible, comfy fit, the deep pockets are ready for your everyday bits and pieces, and the ultra-wide legs (the widest in our range) create a beautiful sense of movement with every step. These are coming up close to overtaking Palazzos as our best selling style!
Harem Kantha Pants
Kantha Harem Pants – effortlessly comfortable, relaxed and one-of-a-kind. Crafted from soft Indian cotton kantha, each pair is stitched with care and attention to detail. The drop-crotch silhouette and shirred elastic waistband offer a super relaxed fit across a range of sizes, while deep pockets make them beautifully functional. Perfect for lounging, exploring, or everyday adventures, these pants are designed to become a wardrobe favourite. This is our only drop-crotch style.
Tula Kantha Joggers
Tula Joggers – our bohemian take on the classic jogger. Made from soft 2-layer recycled cotton kantha, they combine comfort with effortless style. Featuring an elastic waistband with a drawstring, deep pockets, and elastic ankle cuffs, they’re relaxed and fun. Each pair is one-of-a-kind, stitched from preloved kantha in unique mixes of prints and colours you won’t find twice. This is our only style with elastic hems!
Kantha Lounge Pants
We’re all about comfy pants, and our OG Kantha Lounge Pants are a long-time favourite for a reason. Made with our soft elastic waistband and drawstring tie, these pants are 100% reversible with deep patch pockets on both sides and are a great versatile addition to your wardrobe! This style is a roomy straight-leg design, making them easy to wear day-to-day.
Cropped Kantha Pants
Cropped Kantha Pants are a comfy, easy summer favourite made from reclaimed Indian cotton kantha, which means every pair is unique. They feature an elastic waistband with a drawstring for a personalised fit. The cropped, wide-leg design feels relaxed without being bulky. They’re also fully reversible with pockets on both sides, giving you two looks in one simple, effortless piece. Our Cropped Pants are a shorter version of our original beloved Lounge Pants.
Mahi Kantha Pants
“Mahi” means “Earth Goddess” in Sanskrit, and these Mahi wide-leg kantha pants live up to the name. Made from two unique kanthas, each pair is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. High waist with soft elastic and a drawstring for the perfect fit and deep hidden pockets, they’re full of colour and fun, adding a touch of bohemian flair to any outfit.
Dhara Kantha Pants
Dhara Kantha Pants are the perfect blend of style, comfort and sustainability. To us they’re giving that casual, bohemian vibe that we love. Made from 2-layer kantha fabric, these high-waisted pants have an elastic waistband with a drawstring for the perfect fit, plus deep, practical pockets. The ankle-length design has a cute button-up tab on the hems so you can roll them up for a shorter, playful look. This style is more tapered than our other designs!
