Know before you buy
The bark weave provides a tactile, slightly nubby feel that adds depth and dimension to the fabric. It is more substantial than a standard smooth cotton, offering a rustic yet refined texture that feels durable and high-quality.
Because the fabric is 100% cotton and the color is baked in for reinforcement, it is machine washable. We recommend washing in cold water on a gentle cycle and air drying to preserve the integrity of the resist-painted pattern.
No, this product is a cover only. It is designed to fit a standard 18 x 18-inch pillow insert, which allows you to choose the level of firmness or fill material that best suits your comfort preferences.
Each piece is a unique work of art created through a traditional resist-painting process. While the geometric circle pattern remains consistent, you should expect slight variations in the paint application and texture that reflect the authentic, handmade nature of the item.
Yes. The process involves painting with Sadza paste, followed by sun-drying and baking, which sets the pigment deep into the cotton fibers. This traditional method is designed to be long-lasting and resistant to fading with proper care.
