Striped White Sadza Pillow
Best accent piece for lovers of artisanal, globally-inspired minimalist decor.
Elevate your decor with the Striped White Sadza Pillow, a unique accent piece that brings refined global style to any space. Handwoven from 100% cotton, this pillow features a distinctive "bark weave" pattern and a sublime texture. The intricate designs are applied by hand using Sadza, a traditional maize paste, followed by a resist painting process similar to batik. After drying in the sun, the fabric is baked to set the colors. The Sadza paste is then scraped off, revealing a beautiful crackled effect that makes each pillow a work of art. This pillow is a testament to traditional craftsmanship and adds an artisanal touch to your home.

Know before you buy
Sadza is a traditional maize paste applied to the fabric as a resist before painting, similar to the batik process. Once the fabric is baked and the paste is scraped away, it leaves behind a unique, crackled pattern that makes every piece one-of-a-kind.
The product description does not specify a zipper closure. We recommend spot cleaning the cotton fabric to preserve the integrity of the hand-applied design and the delicate crackled texture.
The listing refers to the pillow as an accent piece, but it does not explicitly state if a cushion insert is included. You may need to purchase an 18 x 18-inch insert separately to achieve the desired fullness.
The pillow is handwoven from 100% cotton and features a 'bark weave' pattern, which provides a tactile, organic feel. The Sadza process adds a subtle, textured crackle to the surface, making it feel more artisanal than standard printed cotton.
Given that the fabric is handwoven from natural cotton and processed using traditional sun-drying and baking methods, the white tone typically leans toward a natural, organic off-white rather than a synthetic, optic white.
