Khamma Ghani Desert Elephant Patchwork Cotton Cushion Covers

What details make this elephant distinctive?

The elephant is in dark brown patchwork with an orange howdah on its back, and its legs are worked in orange and yellow stripes, which gives it a playful touch. A stitched outline and small mirror accents finish the shape, with a little purple in the detailing.

How does the cream-peach ground look on a sofa?

Cream-peach is a light, warm base, so it sits easily on beige, white or brown sofas. The dark brown elephant gives strong contrast against it, which makes the cover a clear accent piece even when placed among plain cushions.

Can I use it on a bed as well as a sofa?

Yes. It works on a sofa, an armchair, a bed or a diwan. On a bed, try it in front of larger plain pillows so the elephant sits at the centre of the arrangement.

What is the size?

The cover measures 16x16 inches and fits a 16-inch square cushion. That is a common size for sofas and beds, so the filler you already have at home may well fit it without any change.

Who made it?

It is handcrafted in Barmer by a women's self-help group led by master artisan Keshav, and we source directly from him. Each patch is cut and stitched by hand, so minor irregularities are part of the work.
