What is the design on the Khamma Ghani throw?
It is a handwoven cotton throw with bold zigzag stripe bands running across a pink base, mixed with blue, orange, black, white and red. Contrast tassels finish the ends. The pattern is small in scale and covers the whole throw, so it looks lively even from across the room.
What comes in the set?
You get one three-seater sofa throw and three cushion covers. The throw measures 28x71 inches and each cushion cover is 16x16 inches. The throw is handwoven in cotton with Kambadiya patch work and finished with colourful tassels.
What kind of room does it suit?
The zigzag stripes have a bold, graphic feel, so it works best on a plain sofa in grey, beige, white or a solid dark shade. It brings colour to a minimal room and sits well with wood, cane and simple rugs, where the stripes can take the lead.
Do the cushion covers come with fillers?
The set contains cushion covers, 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.
Who makes it?
It is handcrafted in Barmer by a women's self-help group led by master artisan Keshav, and we source it directly from his embroidery cooperative. The fabric is handwoven cotton, finished with colourful tassels.
How do I care for it?
Dry cleaning is preferred. If you would rather wash it at home, hand wash it gently with a mild detergent. Wash it separately from other clothes and linen, and dry it in the shade rather than in direct sun.
Will mine look exactly like the photos?
Because it is made by hand, slight irregularities are natural. The overall colour will stay similar to what you see, though small details can vary from piece to piece. The photos were taken by the artisans themselves, so they show the piece as it comes from their hands.
