What can I keep in the pocket?
The woven pocket is made to hold letters or flowers, so you can tuck in dried flowers, a few stems of pampas grass, greeting cards or the day's mail. It works as storage and decoration at the same time.
What does the knotwork look like?
Above the pocket, the cord is knotted into chevrons, a row of V shapes that lead the eye down to the opening. A long fringe falls below the pocket, so the piece has three clear sections from top to bottom.
How big and heavy is it?
It measures 12 x 20 and weighs about 700 g with packing. That size suits a wall beside the front door, next to a work desk or above a bedside table where a small holder is handy.
Where in the home is it most useful?
At the entrance it keeps letters and notes in one place. In a bedroom or living room, filled with dried flowers, it becomes a soft decorative accent. It also suits a balcony door or a reading corner where you want a touch of texture.
Is it a good gift?
It makes a warm gift, and you can fill the pocket with dried flowers or a handwritten card before you hand it over. The off-white cord fits easily into most homes, so it is a safe choice when you are unsure of the décor.
How do I clean it?
Take out what is in the pocket, then dust the cord with a soft-bristled brush or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment. Spot clean stubborn marks with a mild detergent solution and let it air dry thoroughly.
