Sadza Dots + Lines Pillow Cover
Best accent piece for lovers of artisanal, globally-inspired home decor.
This White Sadza Pillow with Dots and Lines offers a minimalist and unique aesthetic, perfect for adding a touch of refined global style to any room.

This intricate method results in a beautiful, crackled effect on the fabric, making each pillow a unique piece of art. These pillows are crafted in Zimbabwe by artisans who are empowered through training and employment. They feature an envelope closure for easy use.

Know before you buy
Sadza is a traditional maize paste used as a resist medium. Artisans hand-paint designs onto the fabric with the paste, which is then sun-dried and baked to create a unique, crackled effect that defines the pattern.
No, this product is a pillow cover only. It is designed to fit a standard 18 x 18-inch pillow insert.
Because of the unique artisanal baking process, the colors are colorfast. We recommend spot cleaning or a gentle hand wash in cool water to preserve the texture and the integrity of the hand-painted design.
The bark weave is a hand-woven technique that creates a tactile, slightly raised texture. It feels substantial and organic, offering more depth and character than a standard flat-weave cotton fabric.
The envelope closure features an overlapping fabric flap on the back of the cover. This eliminates the need for zippers or buttons, allowing you to easily tuck your pillow insert inside for a clean, seamless look.
Due to the hand-painted nature of the Sadza process, each pillow cover is a unique piece of art. While the pattern will be consistent with the style shown, you should expect slight variations in the crackled effect and brushwork.
