PALETTE: A GORGEOUS lightly faded berry red and aubergine ground WITH VERY NARROW spring green and chestnut accents AND pink/ecru patterns. FEATURING AN OATMEAL LINEN BACKING AND BRASS ZIP.

MOTIFS: three different patola-inspired motifs ARE FEATURED IN WIDE HORIZONTAL BANDS, ACCENTED BY NARROW BANDS OF stylised star and flower motifs AND DIDDY STRIPES FEATURING tiny geometric details and ikat dots.

TEXTILE DETAILS: WE THINK THAT THE DYES USED IN THIS PILLOW ARE 100% natural vegetable dyes.  THE VARIOUS SHADES OF RED AND PURPLE ARE FROM THE BARK AND ROOTS OF THE MORINDA TREE, THE SPRING GREEN STRIPES ARE CREATED WITH A concoction of indigo, mango tree bark and jackfruit wood {OR IT MIGHT JUST BE A SYNTHETIC THREAD…GASP – BUT WE DON’T THINK SO, IT’S A NICE SOFT SLIGHTLY FADED GREEN}, AND THE PINK/ECRU SHADE OCCURS WHERE THE WRAPPED PANDAN LEAVES PREVENT THE DYE FROM ENTERING THE THREADS, AND THEN OVER THE YEARS THE morinda dye leaches into the blank space.
