What are the roses on this cover like?
Ivory and cream patchwork squares are embroidered with roses and florals in teal, pink and rose, with olive touches. Small mirrors are worked in, and the matte finish keeps the overall look soft and light.
Does it have a trim?
Yes, a plain ivory flat edge finished with a beaded trim. The beads add a delicate outline that suits the gentle colours of the embroidered roses and gives the light cover a little extra detail.
What is the cover made of?
It is cotton, worked in Kambadiya patchwork, where pieces of fabric are sewn together into one design and embroidered. It is handcrafted by a women's self-help group in Barmer led by master artisan Keshav.
Is each cover unique?
Yes. The overall colour remains similar to the photo, but the patches may vary, since finding the same patches again is extremely difficult. Every cover is pieced together by hand, so yours will have its own arrangement.
How do I care for it?
Dry clean it where you can, as that is preferred. Otherwise, handwash it gently with a mild detergent, wash it separately from other things, and dry it in the shade rather than in direct sun.
Where would it suit?
The light ivory with teal and pink roses brightens a bedroom, a living room with pale walls, or a sunny window seat. It also adds a soft accent to a darker sofa in grey, navy or brown.
