Item details

A stunningly beautiful cushion handmade from vintage kimono shibori silk sateen. The dot pattern reminds me of a retro computer game!

The reverse of the cushion has an unusual off-white kimono silk fabric woven with a pine tree design on it.

The cloth has been taken from a rare japanese kimono dating from at least the 1960's. (No kimonos were injured during the making of this cushion. All fabric is taken from damaged kimono!) The kimono has been carefully unpicked and I have chosen particular details in the cloth and cropped the fabric accordingly to look good as a cushion.

This cushion would make a fabulous gift given as if a beautiful work of art or sculpture. Much of the cloth I use is hand embroidered or hand-dyed and I think this is a wonderful way of preserving such an ancient and revered craft.

100% silk cover
Measures 50cm x 30cm.
Has a duck feather filler and removable cover.
Do not get wet. See professional advice for cleaning
There are two cushions available and they make a stunning pair. Just add 2 to your basket.

The skill and process of creating shibori silk is of great fascination to me, and the resulting silk is such a tactile cloth, you won't be able to leave your cushion alone! For further info on how shibori silk is made, visit here....
