Khamma Ghani Ethnic Cotton Kantha Cushion Covers

What stands out on the Ethnic cover?

Pink medallions set with small mirrors sit across the patchwork, against red, pink and green squares with blue, orange and yellow accents. A maroon border with white stitches edges the cover, and tassels finish the corners.

Which crafts go into it?

Three traditions meet here: Kambadiya patchwork, where separate fabric pieces are sewn into one design; Kantha running-stitch embroidery over the surface; and Banjara-style work. It is all done on cotton and sourced directly from Keshav, an embroidery cooperative in Barmer.

Is every cover the same?

No two are identical. The overall colour stays similar to the picture, but the patches will vary because matching the same patches again is extremely difficult. Think of each cover as a one-off arrangement rather than a copy.

What size is it available in?

This cover is made in 16 x 16 inches, a common size for sofa and bed cushions, so a standard 16-inch insert fits it. If you are mixing it with other cushions, it sits comfortably in front of larger ones on a deep sofa.

Are uneven stitches a defect?

No. The cover is made by hand, and slight irregularities are a natural outcome of the human involvement in the process. They are the signs of human hands at work, and along with patches that vary from cover to cover, they are what make every piece unique.

How does it look in a room?

The red and pink base brings warmth, so it sits well on cream, beige or wooden furniture and lightens a dark sofa. Next to other red-toned cushions it builds a rich, festive corner; next to blues or greys it becomes the clear accent.
