Know before you buy
The pillow features a distinctive 'bark weave' texture, which is a tactile, slightly raised weave. This gives the fabric a more substantial, organic feel compared to standard flat-woven cotton.
The pattern is achieved through a traditional resist painting process where maize paste is applied by hand to the fabric. Once the paint is baked and the paste is scraped away, it leaves behind the unique, crackled geometric design.
Yes, the pillow is washable. We recommend following standard care instructions for 100% cotton to maintain the integrity of the handwoven texture and the resist-painted design.
This product is sold as a pillow cover. You will need to provide your own 18 x 18-inch insert to achieve the desired fullness.
The colors are set through a baking process during the artisanal production, which helps them adhere to the cotton fibers. To keep the contrast sharp, it is best to wash in cool water and avoid harsh chemical detergents.
