Artisanal Embroidered Cushion Cover with Tassels

Bring character, culture, and a touch of nature to a room with these intricately decorated cushions. Inspired by the Hindu culture’s love for leaves and crafted by thread work, these covers are gorgeous to look at and equally comfortable to lean on.

Traditionally, no ceremony—from weddings to blessing a home—is complete without the inclusion of leaves. Seen as a symbol of purity, health and spiritual goodness, the connection to the natural world subtly brings the great outdoors into your home.

Beautifully-stitched by Waseem from New Delhi in India, this technique involves manually navigating a pen-like needle to create stunning patterns. Needlework has existed in India since 2000 BC – the method has been adapted and passed down many generations. However, artisans specialising in this craft are rapidly being replaced by the increase of machine-made alternatives.

India’s duet with the cotton industry dates back over 4,500 years ago. Overtime Indian artisans and traders have refined their skills and have since been one of the biggest producers of cotton - so much so that in ancient Greece and Babylon, ’India’ was used as an abbreviation for ‘cotton’.

This style is made by stitching acrylic thread onto chambray cotton which is known for its soft and breathable qualities.

100% cotton. May dry or spot clean. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Iron on reverse on low heat.
