Pillow 50×50: CRICKET

Decorative throw pillow from our own Bashō collection! 

Front made with vintage Shanghai textiles of two or three different patterns. Because every piece of textile is unique, the pillows are all unique and come in a limited quantity. Please ask for our current stock. 

These old and original textiles comes from our collection of hand woven textiles from the Chongming Islands near Shanghai at the mouth of the Yangtze river. In the past it was the custom on these islands to present newlyweds with handmade fabric in honour of their weddings. Much of this fabric was never used instead it was stored and treasured by the couple. This fabric has a beautiful texture due to the hand spun threads. Because these textiles are old, sometimes some small discolourations are possible and acceptable.

The back is made with dark blue cotton.
Filling excluded.
