Bolster cushion featuring piped edges and adjustable drawstring closures, finished with fabric bells.

Made in Soft Pink, a handwoven Eri (peace) silk fabric dyed with Manjistha from the North-Eastern Himalayan range, a flowering plant cultivated for its rich red pigment extract. Paired with Bona Stripes for contrast.

The fabrics are woven in rural Assam, Northeast India, where a network of female artisans perform the complete farm-to-fabric process; from rearing indigenous silkmoths to spinning- and weaving the durable and wool-like cloth on traditional handlooms. When producing Eri silk, the strands are carefully unraveled from the silkworms’ cocoons only after the moths have fully emerged. This ethical process stands in contrast to conventional silk production, where silkworms are boiled within their cocoons. Eri culture is deeply rooted in the folklife of Assam, passed down through generations and symbolic of the region's sentiments towards nature and its resources.
