A traditional hand woven blanket from the hill tribes of Northern Thailand has been upcycled into this gorgeous throw pillow, perfect for adding a touch of hill tribe character to any space.

A slightly loose weave with thick cotton gives the textile a beautiful texture, with an soft blue tone striped with vertical lines in light pastel colors. Both sides feature the same textile, finished with a soft lining and an invisible zip enclosure.

Available as a cover only ready to be filled with your own choice of filling, or with a organic kapok filled cotton insert.

THE FINE DETAILS

Crafted from a hand woven blanket textile from the hill tribes of Northern Thailand.

Invisible zip enclosure & fully lined interior.

Approx size : 12″ x 20″.

Optional cotton insert filled with natural, organic kapok.

The handmade nature of hill tribe textiles means that they may have imperfections from the natural process of weaving, batik application and dying, often further adding to their character and uniqueness.

FABRIC & INSERT CARE

Washing the cushion cover

Caring for your cushion cover is simple – remove the insert before washing, wash separately in warm water, ideally by hand, and shade dry.

Washing the insert

The kapok insert can be washed in a machine or by hand as regular cotton, although we advise removal of the kapok filling beforehand.

It is possible to wash the insert with the kapok filling inside, although kapok takes a notoriously long time to dry due to it’s density!

Caring for the kapok

Kapok is a fantastic fill for cushions and needs no special care – just plump up the kapok fiber every now and then to keep your cushion plump, and add or remove kapok as you wish to find your perfect firmness.

AUTHENTIC HILL TRIBE

Our hill tribe cushions are made from authentic Hmong and Lisu textiles, sourced directly from hill tribe villages and textile markets in Northern Thailand and S.E Asia.

NATURAL ORGANIC KAPOK

Kapok is a soft natural fiber extracted from the seed pods of Kapok (Ceiba) tree which is found in Thailand and Indonesia.
Also known as silk cotton or java cotton, it is luxurious to the touch and has all the qualities of down (without the cruelty of feather gathering). The fiber is non toxic, odorless, resistant to rot, as well as being 100% natural and organic.
This kapok is harvested directly here in Thailand and in it’s purest form, untreated and unbleached as you can tell by it’s yellow color (whereas a cheaper treated kapok is often noticeably whiter in color).
