What does the Rustic cover look like?
It is built in rust, orange and olive, with brown, cream and blue accents. Wedge-shaped panels of geometric folk prints are arranged around a centre ring, and an orange rim with tassels finishes the edge. The palette feels earthy and sun-baked, true to its name.
What are the small trims on the panels?
Look closely and you will see trims that look like small shells set among the patches, alongside mirror dots and thread embroidery. They add a little relief and a craft-market charm to the surface, so handle them gently and avoid scrubbing over them when cleaning.
What sizes can I choose?
It is offered in 16 x 16, 18 x 18 and 32 x 32 inches. The smaller two suit sofas, chairs and diwans. The 32 x 32 inch size is large and works best on the floor or as a single statement cushion.
How should I clean it?
Dry clean, or hand wash gently in cold water with a mild detergent. Wash it separately, as some patches may release colour early on. Do not wring it, keep the tassels loose while drying flat in shade, and iron only on the reverse, away from the trims and mirrors.
Is Banjara work part of this piece?
Yes. Banjara work, a folk embroidery tradition known for bright stitching and small mirrors, appears in the mirror dots and decorative stitching across the panels. It is combined with Kambadiya patchwork and Kantha running stitches by the Keshav cooperative in Barmer.
Are slight irregularities expected?
Yes. The panels are cut and stitched by hand, so small differences in the wedges, stitches, trims or tassels are natural. They are part of handmade work, not faults, and they mean your cover will be slightly different from every other one.
