Khamma Ghani Pastel Elephant Patchwork Cotton Cushion Covers

How soft is the overall look of this cover?

It has a light, gentle palette. The blush-beige ground carries mostly pink and purple patchwork elephants, with only small touches of orange and teal. The howdah and stitched outline still give the design clear shape, but the overall effect is calm rather than loud.

Where does it look best at home?

Its pale tones suit a bedroom, a white or light grey sofa, or a window seat with sheer curtains. It also works in a child's room or a reading nook where you want colour that feels soft rather than bold.

What patchwork technique is used here?

This is Kantha patchwork, a traditional technique where separate pieces of fabric are cut and sewn together to form a larger design. Here, the fabric patches make up the elephant and its decorated howdah, outlined with stitching and dotted with small mirrors.

What are its measurements?

The cover measures 16x16 inches. It fits a standard 16-inch square cushion, a common size for sofas, armchairs and beds, so it is easy to swap in for covers you already have without buying new fillers.

Can I expect small differences from the picture?

Yes, a little. As this is handcrafted, the overall colour of the cover will remain similar, but the patches may vary because the same fabrics are very hard to find again. Screens can also show colours slightly differently.

What is the best way to wash it?

Hand wash it gently in cold water with a mild detergent, and do not use bleach. After washing, lay it flat to dry in the shade rather than hanging it up in direct sunlight.
