This is a perfect ikat pillow to bring positive energy and warmth through colors. This bright and colorful lumbar ikat pillow cover is made of hand dyed and handloom woven Uzbek ikat fabric from Fergana Valley of Uzbekistan.
The cover closes with an invisible zipper on a side.
This is a handmade product. As such, it has certain weaving irregularities which are inherent to a manual weaving. It is exactly these irregularities which make these ikat lumbar pillow covers unique artisanal products.
Every single object that surrounds us carries energy of materials of which the product is made. This product is made of cotton and silk – both natural products grown in Uzbekistan. Our products are not mass produced, there is no assembly lines involved and there is only so much ikat fabric people can make in a tiny city of Margilan. The fact that ikat fabrics are not made on industrial mass production scale does make them unique and warm energy-wise.
Ikat lumbar pillows as the name implies are designed for lumbar support. In addition to this function they are widely used for decorative purposes. Lumbar ikat pillows work beautifully to decorate bedrooms. Ikat lumbar pillows are usually placed in front of regular pillows to create a finished dressed up look of a bedroom. In living rooms lumbar throw pillows decorate as one of many throw pillows on a sofa. Large arm chairs can also be dressed up just by adding one decorative item – lumbar ikat pillow!
Ikat fabrics of which our ikat pillows are made are luxurious noble fabrics. We recommend dry cleaning them but they can also be washed in cold water.
And lastly, just to make sure we are fully clear - inserts are not included with a pillow cover but you can buy inserts in many places online.
