What colours run through the patchwork?
Orange and peach make up most of the throw, with patches in red, green and pink carrying thread embroidery. The red tassels along the edge deepen the warm tone, so the whole set reads warm from end to end, with the green patches as a cool counterpoint.
How will it change the feel of my living room?
It warms a room up quickly. On a beige, cream, grey or brown sofa it adds a lively, sunny feel, and it works well with brass, terracotta and wood. In a room that is already very colourful, let it be the main accent and keep other textiles plain.
How big are the cushion covers and throws?
Cushion covers are 16x16 inches. The three-seater throw is 27x68 inches, and in the 5-seater set the two single-seater throws are 27x30 inches each, so you can dress a full 3+1+1 seating arrangement.
Where is it made?
In Barmer, by a women's self-help group led by master artisan Keshav. We source it directly from Keshav's embroidery cooperative. The patchwork is done by hand in cotton, which is why small irregularities appear from piece to piece.
Is a custom version possible?
It is, at an additional cost. Keep in mind that every piece is handmade, so a custom order will have its own patch arrangement and the small irregularities that come with handwork, while the overall colour stays similar.
Do the cushion covers come with fillers?
No, the cushion covers come as covers only, so you will need your own fillers. The covers measure 16x16 inches, so pick fillers of that size. A slightly fuller filler gives a plumper look on the sofa.
