We’ve upcycled a rare vintage blanket from the Tai Lu hill tribe to create this gorgeous kilim-inspired pillow cushion.

Taking inspiration from intricate kilim rugs and blankets, the fabric embodies the artisanal expertise and traditional characteristics of the Tai Lu hill tribe, who are known for textile weaving and handcrafted silver work.

The woven fabric features a beautiful mix of traditional geometric designs. A handwoven weave in a golden bronze shade has strands of indigo plant-dyed cotton loosely woven on top. A light fade and loose threads give it a stunning rustic look. Finally, the reverse is a 100% hemp fabric in an off-white/cream hue.

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

It supports traditional craftsmanship while offering a bohemian throw cushion that brings style and authenticity to any room.

HANDMADE CUSHIONS WITH KILIM UPHOLSTERY AND WEAVING INSPIRATION

For us, this cushion (and the original woven blanket we’ve used to create it) draws inspiration from, or at least has many similarities to, traditional kilim weaving and upholstery.

Like classic kilim textiles, this cushion features geometric patterns with earthy golden-brown tones, similar to the natural, muted palettes often found in weaves coming out of the Middle East.

One thing we really love about this cushion cover is the slightly worn texture with faded hues and loose threads. It’s these little imperfections that add character, holding a mirror up to that rustic and lived-in aesthetic that you can find in kilim cushions and rugs.

WHAT SHOULD I USE AS PILLOW FILLING MATERIAL?

We offer an optional kapok insert with all our cushions and pillows, but if you’d like to fill it yourself, you can use, well, pretty much anything. The inner section of this cushion is elegantly lined with a supporting fabric, meaning you can fill it with loose stuffing material without any issues.

While we think kapok is the best pillow stuffing material to use, there are many others. Some like to use feathers and down; others like to stuff a pillow cushion with polyester. You can use wool, feathers, or even microbeads – the choice is yours.
