Know before you buy
Due to the delicate nature of the handwoven silk, wool, and cotton blend, this cover is not machine washable. We recommend either dry cleaning or a gentle hand wash in cold water to preserve the texture and fibers.
The pillow features a tactile, slightly textured surface created through a unique handwashing process. Because it is handwoven from raw, undyed yarns, you can expect a natural, artisanal feel that is distinct from mass-produced textiles.
The product listing is for the pillow cover only. You will need to provide your own 24" x 24" insert to achieve the desired look and comfort level.
No, this pillow is designed for indoor use only. The natural fibers, including silk and wool, are not treated for outdoor elements like moisture or direct sunlight.
'Kora' translates to 'raw' and refers to the use of undyed yarns in their natural state. This approach celebrates the authentic color and texture of the materials while minimizing the environmental impact of chemical dyes.
Small-batch production ensures that each pillow receives individual attention from artisans in India. This process results in higher quality control and a unique, handcrafted character that varies slightly from piece to piece.
