What does a white-on-white design look like up close?
Small leaf shapes run in vertical rows down each cover, cut and stitched white on white with a faint grey layer beneath. There is no colour contrast, so the pattern shows through the layered edges and the slight shadow they cast, giving a subtle, textured surface.
How will these look in my room?
They bring texture rather than colour. On a grey, navy, olive or wooden sofa the white covers stand out cleanly, while in an all-white room they add a quiet layer of detail. They also work well in bedrooms with white linen.
Is the fabric pure cotton?
Yes, the covers are pure cotton. The appliqué patches are cotton too, stitched onto the cotton base with cotton thread, so the whole cover is made from one natural fibre.
Do the covers come with inserts?
No, the set includes five cushion covers only. Each one measures 16x16 inches, so 16x16 inch fillers will fit. Inserts of that size are widely available, and you can reuse any square cushions you already have.
Will my covers match the photos exactly?
The overall colour remains similar, but the patches may vary from set to set. Each cover is cut and stitched by hand, and finding exactly the same patches is extremely difficult. Slight irregularities are a natural outcome of handwork, and they are part of the charm.
Can I ask for a custom version?
Yes, customisation is available at an additional cost. Since each cover is cut and stitched by hand by the women's group in Barmer, the work is made piece by piece rather than in a fixed machine run.
