Olive Stripe Silk Pillow

The solid silks are handwoven by a collective in Gujurat, unlike conventional silk production their traditional method uses naturally opened non-mulberry silks to honor a more compassionate approach to craftsmanship. Each yarn is spun by hand, preserving techniques passed down by generations of master weavers from West Bengal.  The striped textiles, exclusively woven in the town of Maheshwar by a local women's weavers' society, trace their origins to the visionary queen Ahilya Ma Saab, a widow who reigned with grace and purpose in ancient India. Her understated, elegant style shaped the Maheshwari weaving customs.  Sold individually but made in pairs if you wish to have two matching pillows. - 18 x 18 inches - The solid textile is 100% silk, the striped textile is 100% cotton - Down pillow insert - Dry clean only
