Know before you buy
Because each pillow is handcrafted using fermented river mud and natural dyes, slight variations in color and pattern are expected. These unique imperfections are part of the authentic charm and ensure that no two pillows are exactly alike.
Due to the traditional mud-dyeing process, we recommend spot cleaning only with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals to preserve the integrity of the natural dyes and the fabric.
Yes, this pillow arrives with a polyester fill insert, making it ready to style on your sofa or bed immediately.
The front features the authentic, slightly textured feel of hand-painted cotton mud cloth, while the back is crafted from a smooth, durable linen fabric for added comfort and longevity.
The envelope closure features an overlapping fabric design on the back, which keeps the insert securely in place without the need for zippers or buttons. This provides a clean, seamless look that is easy to remove if you ever need to swap the insert.
