Khamma Ghani Retro Cotton Kantha Cushion Covers

What does the Retro cover look like?

A dark green base carries wedge-shaped panels of pink and red flowers and peacock-like motifs, arranged around a centre ring and accented with blue, yellow and white. A green rim lined with white stitches and tassels finishes it, giving a rich, garden-like feel.

What are the bird-like motifs on it?

Among the flowers you will find motifs in the style of peacocks, worked in bright thread embroidery. They sit between the floral panels and give the cover a storytelling quality, so it rewards a closer look beyond the colours.

Which sizes can I pick?

It comes in 16 x 16, 18 x 18 and 32 x 32 inches. The smaller sizes suit sofas, armchairs and beds, and the 32 x 32 inch size is a large cushion for floor seating or a single bold accent.

Will my cover have the same motifs?

The overall colour will stay similar, but the individual patches can vary, since finding the same patches again is extremely difficult. The peacock-like and floral panels may appear in a different arrangement, or be replaced by similar folk motifs.

Is there Banjara work on it?

Yes. Banjara work, a folk embroidery tradition known for bright stitching and small mirrors, appears in the mirror dots and embroidered details. It is combined with Kambadiya patchwork and Kantha running stitches by the Keshav cooperative in Barmer, Rajasthan.

How should I wash it?

Hand wash gently in cold water with a mild detergent, or dry clean. Wash it separately in case any patch releases colour. Do not wring it, let the tassels hang loose as it dries flat in shade, and iron only on the reverse, away from the mirrors.
