What is the motif on these covers?
Symmetrical, butterfly-like petal shapes run across each cover. The top layer is a light leaf green, and the cut shapes let a tan layer show through underneath, so every motif is framed by a warm outline.
How does the appliqué show on this design?
Here the two colours are clearly different, green over tan, so the layering is easy to see. Each petal looks slightly recessed, with the tan peeking through, which gives the cover a textured, handmade feel even from a distance.
What size are the covers?
Each of the five covers measures 16x16 inches. Fillers are not included, so pair them with 16x16 inch inserts. That size is a common square that suits most sofas, armchairs and beds.
Who makes this set?
It is handcrafted in Barmer, Rajasthan, by a women's self-help group led by master artisan Keshav. We source it directly from Keshav's embroidery cooperative, so the set comes straight from the artisans who cut and stitched it.
Can I get it customised?
Yes, customisation is available at an additional cost. Because the covers are cut and stitched by hand by the women's group in Barmer, the work is made piece by piece rather than in bulk on a machine.
Are these fine for a balcony swing?
Yes, they can be used in covered outdoor spaces like balconies and patios. Keep them out of direct sun, rain and moisture, and bring them in when it turns wet, as they are pure cotton with hand-stitched appliqué.
