Item Description
These cushions are made from a very beautiful handwoven Lao brocade. The brocade is woven in cotton and silk and the textile was destined to be made into a tube skirt or sindh that the Lao women wear. The fact that it has a lot of brocade pattern on the textile means it was destined for a high status lady. The pattern is very complex and the weaver would have been very skilled. It would have taken a whole day to weave just a few inches. The colours are natural dyes and include a grey ground colour with supplementary wefts colours of off white, peach, tangerine and lilac. Ive used the brocade for both sides of the cushion, added peachy coloured tassels and there are zip fasteners and feather pads.
