Hmong Chin tribal 19 in. cushion, handwoven hemp cotton, rusty reddish brown and gold, abstract natural organic dye, hand sewing QQ40

The face of the pillow is constructed using a textile from the Chin ethnic group of Burma/Myanmar. It is handwoven on a back strap loom and colored using organic, natural dyes. The black geometric pattern has an amazing lustrous quality that changes and shimmers with the light and sometimes appears slightly blue or whitish. The 3 panels making up the front have been handsewn together using the house-and-roof Karen tribal stitch.

The back of the pillow is constructed from a handwoven, unbleached cotton in natural and neutral warm off-white. It is extremely soft to the touch with a very fine corduroy type texture/grain and subtle naturally occurring "speckling" from the unbleached cotton fibers.

Pillow dimensions are 18-19 inches wide x 20-21 inches tall. Because of the particular handmade/handwoven characteristics, dimensions are intended as plus or minus half an inch. Note that it has a slightly "tall" stance, it's a bit taller than it is wide, which gives it a particular and unique presence on your sofa.

This pillow has an interlining/fusing applied to the rear-side of both the front and back materials to maintain fabric integrity and smashing good looks, and a top-of-the-line, YKK-zippered, fill opening for strength and durability. In addition, all fabric joints have been serged/overlocked to properly seal the edges, prevent fraying, and provide a crisp, clean finish. The last photo(s) shows the professional finish of the inside of all our pillows.

This listing is for the pillowcase only and does not include an insert, unless otherwise noted.

The cotton in these pillow cases is colored using natural, organic, vegetable dyes. This is a more expensive and time-consuming process than using chemical dyes but results in the enchanting character and soft hues of the colors you see in the photos.

Note that the handwoven textiles used in this pillow may have some aberrations such as wonky threads or other anomalies in the weaving/embroidery.
