Khamma Ghani Vintage Cotton Kantha Cushion Covers

What is distinctive about the Vintage cover?

Its red and orange palette with geometric, diamond-patterned patches, touched with gold, pink, green and teal. A red rim lined with white stitches and tassels frames it. The diamond patterns give it the look of an old folk textile, which suits its name.

What are the diamond patterns?

Several patches carry diamond-shaped geometric designs, repeated in rows. They give the cover a structured rhythm that contrasts with the folk florals and mirror dots around them, and they are the feature that gives this piece its vintage folk look.

What sizes does it come in?

You can choose 16 x 16, 18 x 18 or 32 x 32 inches. The smaller two suit sofas, chairs and diwans, while 32 x 32 inches makes a large floor cushion or an oversized statement piece.

How do I keep the tassels neat?

Comb them gently with your fingers if they tangle, and keep them away from vacuum nozzles. When washing, let them hang loose as the cover dries in shade, and avoid wringing them, so they keep their fullness and do not knot.

How is the patchwork made?

This is Kambadiya work: pieces of embroidered and patterned cotton are cut and stitched together into one surface. The Keshav cooperative in Barmer joins them with Kantha running stitches and adds Banjara folk embroidery and mirror dots, all by hand.

What does it go with?

Its reds and oranges sit well beside other earthy cushions in rust, mustard or brown for a warm group, or beside navy and black pieces for contrast. Add a plain cream or teal cushion to give the eye a resting place.
