What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Indu cotton shams for their artisan quality and unique design. The exquisite hand block printed indigo patterns are frequently described as stunning works of art, elevating the bedding beyond standard alternatives. Reviewers consistently highlight the 100% cotton material for its softness and breathability, contributing to a luxurious feel. Slight variations in the natural indigo dye are embraced as confirmation of the handmade nature, adding character. While initial washing requires care due to the natural dye, the perceived quality and expected longevity strongly justify the price point. These shams are highly recommended for adding a sophisticated, globally inspired touch to any bedroom aesthetic.
Know before you buy
To maintain the integrity of the fabric and the artisanal print, these shams should be washed in a gentle cold cycle and air dried. Use a medium iron if needed to smooth out wrinkles.
No, these shams are not machine washable. Due to the delicate nature of the hand block-printing process, we recommend hand washing or a very gentle cycle to preserve the pattern.
These shams are designed to accommodate standard to king-sized pillows. The envelope closure with ties ensures a secure fit regardless of the specific pillow loft.
Because each sham is individually hand block-printed by artisans, subtle variations in the pattern and color are expected. These nuances are a hallmark of authentic, handmade craftsmanship rather than a defect.
The reversible feature allows you to switch up your bedroom aesthetic easily. You can choose between the primary floral pattern or the secondary side to create a layered, custom look for your bedding.
