Boudoir size ikat pillow cover for which we used different fabrics on both sides.
One side is handwoven cotton and silk blend ikat fabric in a very intricate ikat pattern. For the reverse side we used also handwoven but mustard yellow solid cotton/silk blend fabric with a gorgeous moire pattern.
Using different fabrics for different sides of pillow covers is a wonderful technique. From decoration perspective this gives you sort of 2 pillow covers. When you need a pattern you can display ikat side. When you want to calm down your interiors, just turn the pillow around and have the solid side face the room.
Each pillow cover closes with a hidden zipper on a side. You can see this detain on a photo.
Boudoir ikat pillow covers are designed with a purely decorative purpose in mind. They are little decor objects which can totally transform a space. It is with these small accents like handwoven ikat pillow covers we add "spice" and interest to interiors. Interiors become even more interesting when objects have history. Our ikat pillow covers certainly come with a lot of artisanal history.
Everything is relative and in today's world to be 100% sustainable is a true achievement. We can state that our ikat pillow covers are 100% sustainable but they are certainly ahead of the game compared to the rest of the textile and fashion industries.
