If ever a pillow could tell a story, this is it! We sourced this quintessential textile right from the streets of Santiago, Guatemala. The woven stripes are unique to this region and the yarns are woven on backstrap looms. We loved it so much, we knew we needed to go a step further and ask our master embroiderer, Antonia, to use her art and craft to design this modern daisy pattern. Once the textile made it to the United States, we paired it with grosgrain ribbon and crisp white denim. The result is extraordinary and know you will agree! It is hard to imagine anyplace these pillows wouldn’t stand out. These are very limited edition and truly one-of-a-kind.

Not Included: Pillow Insert

Details:

• Both textiles are pre-washed, 100% cotton
• Custom, hand embroidered embellishment using cotton threads
• Pillow is a 20” square intended to fit a 22” square insert**
• Professionally finished with an invisible zipper
• Due to the nature of the contrasting textiles, we recommend dry cleaning only
