Frequently Asked Questions

Which cushion insert should I use with it?

It is made for a 18 x 18 inch cushion. Using a filler one to two inches larger than the cover is the usual trick for a full, rounded look - a same-size insert sits flatter and looks more tailored.

What is crewel embroidery?

Crewel is wool thread worked in chain stitch over a cotton or cotton-blend base, a technique long associated with Kashmiri craftsmanship in India. The wool sits proud of the fabric, which is where the raised, tactile texture comes from.

How do I clean it without damaging the embroidery?

Spot clean gently, or dry clean for a full wash. Avoid soaking, wringing and stiff brushes, all of which loosen hand-worked threads. Dry flat in the shade rather than hanging it wet, so the stitching does not pull out of shape.

How do I keep it looking fresh between washes?

Shake it out and brush or vacuum it on low suction once a week. Dust settles quickly in Indian homes and is what dulls both silk sheen and embroidery over time - regular dusting does more for the look than frequent washing.

Does it work as a gift?

Cushion covers are among the more usable housewarming and wedding gifts - nothing to size, easy to pack and courier, and they suit most Indian living rooms whether the decor is ethnic or modern.

Handcrafted in India. As every piece is woven or embroidered by hand, slight variations in colour, texture and detailing are natural and make each cover unique.
