What is special about the Embellished cover?
It carries rich surface work. Big pink flowers bloom across lime and sage patches, joined by medallions of mirrors and beads, with a dark green flange edge holding it together. The mirrors and sequins give it a bright sheen, so it reads festive and bold.
Are the mirror and bead medallions delicate?
They are worked by hand, and like any mirror and bead work they need a little care. Avoid sitting on it with sharp objects in your pockets, keep it away from pets that like to scratch, and never machine wash or iron directly over the medallions.
Which size does it come in?
The Embellished cover is 16 x 16 inches. It is a standard size for sofa and chair cushions, so it is easy to place alongside your existing cushions or pair with plain ones in a similar size.
Where is it made?
It comes directly from Keshav, an embroidery cooperative based in Barmer, Rajasthan. The artisans combine Kambadiya patchwork, Kantha stitching and Banjara embroidery, the bright mirror-led folk work that gives this cover its shine.
Will the colours bleed?
Because the patches come from different cotton fabrics, some dyes may release a little colour in the first few washes. Wash it on its own in cold water with mild detergent, do not soak it for long and dry it in shade. Dry cleaning is the gentler option.
What does it pair well with?
The lime and pink are lively, so they balance well against calmer colours. Try it on white, cream or deep green upholstery, or with plain cushions in sage or blush. On a wooden diwan or a cane chair, the greens and the mirror work look especially fresh.
