Slate Lumbar pillow cover

Home Therapy brings to you this masterpiece of a cushion cover, made from handwoven fabric that is meticulously embroidered by local artisans.  The superior hand embroidery, understated in essence and restrained in execution makes a perfect choice for contemporary spaces.  It features a concealed zip closure at the back for convenience.  The artisans first come up with designs on paper, and then trace them on the textile.  This enables a sharp design with no room for errors.  Using vintage stitches and needlework, they then start creating stunning motifs and patterns.  Hand embroidery is a popular craft in India, one that can instantly uplift any design.  While artisans specializing in this craft are fast losing out to the machine-made sector, they still hold on to their skill that has been passed down generations.  Archaeological findings like needles and embroidered fabrics dating back to 2000 BC, confirm the existence of needlework in India!
