"The Kantha blanket arrived. It's beautiful (as imagined) and perfect (stitched with precision)! The shipping costs were fair, no extra taxes or duties - I'm so glad that I finally found an European online shop that sells Basha kanthas (there are many in UK but the shipping cost are higher. Love it, really happy (that's why I'm going to buy another one :)"
