Khadi cushion cover

This Khadi cotton cushion cover plays with contrasts, featuring a heavy cotton white background with a felted look and black edges that create an extra-thick hem on each cover.

Khadi belongs to a family of exceptional Indian fabrics. The strong identity of this handmade work bears the mark of the person who patiently spun and wove the cotton fiber on a spinning wheel, or 'charkha'. The subtle irregularities of the weave lend it its inherent nobility. It is a soft and supple fabric, but also versatile, being cool in summer and warm in winter.

In India, khadi has sentimental value: Mahatma Gandhi had elevated this weaving to a true symbol, that of a craft to be defended.
