What does the Hand Stitched cover look like?
Black patchwork panels carry bright embroidery in orange, green, pink, blue and yellow, with folk florals, geometrics and mirror dots. The edge is a maroon rim lined with white stitches and finished with tassels, so a warm red frame surrounds the dark centre.
Are the white stitches on the rim decorative?
Yes, they are part of the design. The white running stitches stand out against the maroon rim and echo the Kantha stitching used across the patchwork. They give the edge a crisp, handmade outline that you can see from across the room.
Which sizes can I order?
It is available in 16 x 16, 18 x 18 and 32 x 32 inches. Pick 16 or 18 inches for sofas, chairs and beds, or 32 x 32 inches for a large floor cushion or a standout piece on a daybed.
Why do the stitches vary slightly in length?
Because they are done by hand. Small differences in stitch length, spacing and patch edges are a natural result of the process, not a defect. They give the cover the slightly irregular, human rhythm that machine-made textiles lack.
What is Banjara work?
It is a folk embroidery tradition known for bright thread colours and small mirrors stitched into the design. On this cover it shows in the mirror dots and colourful embroidery on the black panels, alongside Kambadiya patchwork and Kantha running stitches.
Where would it look good?
The black and maroon make it a strong anchor. It looks rich on cream, beige or mustard upholstery, and adds depth to a light room. On the floor of a living room or a terrace seating area, it brings a bold folk touch.
