Large bolster cushion featuring piped edges and adjustable drawstring closures, finished with fabrics bells and a hidden zipper closure along the seam.

Made in Bona Stripes, a handwoven Eri (peace) silk fabric with natural yarn in the warp and stripes of neutral browns in the weft that are naturally dyed using rice hay and tea. Paired with Soft Pink 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.
