This pillow is made with vintage indigo dyed cotton from Burkina Faso in West Africa. You can really see the hand of the weaver in each piece. The cotton fades and distresses like denim, plus its unbelievably soft. I paired them with complimentary fabrics from my collection. The blue of this indigo is outrageous. Its almost turquoise. When you are using natural indigo dye and you pull the cloth from the dye bath, initially its a a chartreuse color and as it gets exposed to oxygen it changes before your eyes to aqua, then slowly darkens to become the rich indigo weare all familiar with. The fading in this piece seems to have gone back in time revealing the turquoise within.
All of my pillows are made with 2nd hand fabrics sourced from the fashion and interior design industries as well as vintage shops and estate sales. This way I get fabrics unavailable to anyone else and give some rad old fabrics a new life for you to love! The fabrics may carry a visual history of their previous life (wear marks in a pair of old jeans or the red wine stain of a linen tablecloth). These choices are intentional, showing the character of the journey of the fabric.
The face of this pillow is made with vintage cotton. The back pillow is made with preshrunk cotton canvas. Filled with duck feather pillow. Machine washable on cold and gentle. Do not dryclean.
