Velvet Handmade Block Printed Cushion Cover - Zadok Apricot (45x45cm) by Gaya Alegria

These beautiful throw pillow covers are made using a traditional Indian block print technique, giving them a unique look. Block printing is an ancient textile printing method. Each pattern element requires its own uniquely carved wooden block, crafted individually by a carver. Ensuring the blocks are correctly positioned and the patterns remain precise requires a profound knowledge of mathematics and an eye for aesthetics, it's actually one of the toughest fabric arts out there.

This art form is often a family tradition, lovingly passed down through generations. Each cushion cover emerges as a masterpiece, with no two ever looking exactly the same. These hand-block cushion covers aren't just decorations—they symbolize the rich cultural heritage and the strong bond between the artisans and their craft.

Dry Clean Only or Hand Wash at your own risk. It is recommended that you do not use hot water as this can shrink the velvet, and you should use only a very mild fabric detergent or a specific washing detergent.
