Know before you buy
Because of the way the fabric is cut from the larger textile roll, each cushion cover features a unique placement of the Piccolo stripes. You should expect slight variations in the pattern layout compared to the promotional images.
We recommend using a 50x50cm insert for a standard fit. If you prefer a fuller, more structured look, you can use a 55x55cm insert to give the cushion a slightly plumper appearance.
Yes, the 100% cotton canvas is durable and easy to maintain. We recommend following the care instructions on the interior label, typically washing in cool water and air drying to preserve the integrity of the fabric and the vibrancy of the print.
The cover includes a functional zipper closure located on one side. It is designed to be discreet, ensuring it doesn't detract from the clean lines of the flanged edge.
The material is a sturdy, high-quality cotton canvas. It feels substantial and tactile, offering a crisp, structured finish that holds its shape well on a sofa or armchair.
