Pillow Covers

Our colorful Block Printed Pillow Covers are printed by hand in Jaipur, India, in the centuries old craft of block printing. The traditional patterns weve chosen are created using a virtual puzzle of hand carved wooden blocks, the making of which is an art in itself, as an individual block is needed for each color in the design. Just imagine the skill involved! Each block is dipped in a different color and carefully pressed to the fabric, this process is repeated to create the complete pattern. Once finished, the fabrics are laid in the hot Indian sun to dry before being tailored into pillow covers.

Ikat Pillow Covers are so sought after, so hard to find, and typically soooo expensive. thats because this nearly lost textile art requires great skill, is very time consuming, and is only still practiced in exceptionally far-flung locales. Were lucky to have stumbled upon a village still practicing this ancient art of warp & weft weaving. The distinct patterns that define ikat textiles are achieved through resist dyeing the threads before weaving them. The result is a fabric with great depth, bold graphics, and surprisingly modern appeal; truly unlike any other textile. We hope you enjoy our collection of Ikat pillow covers!
