Khamma Ghani Kambadiya Rosy Red Cushion Cover

What is the pattern on this cover?

It is pieced from narrow multicoloured strips, each embroidered with florals and border patterns in teal, orange and gold on a red base. Mirrors and sequins are worked in among the threadwork, and a plain red flat edge frames it.

How does the strip layout look on a sofa?

The strips give it a linear rhythm, so it reads as bands of colour from across the room and as fine embroidery up close. Accents of navy and cream keep the red from feeling too heavy.

What does it pair with?

Red is a confident colour. It works with cream, white, beige or navy upholstery, and brings warmth to a room with dark wood or brass accents. Put it beside plain cushions in teal or gold to echo its embroidery.

Is it a good gifting choice?

It is. A hand-embroidered Kambadiya cover made by women artisans in Barmer is a meaningful gift for someone who loves handcrafted decor. Since the filler is not included, you could add a 16 x 16 inch insert.

Where is it made?

In Barmer, by a women's self-help group led by master artisan Keshav. We source directly from Keshav's embroidery cooperative there, and every cover is handcrafted in Kambadiya patchwork, with the strips joined and embroidered by hand.
