Khadi Gold Cushion Cover

This Khadi cushion cover excels in the art of contrasts:

- It features a heavy white cotton background, giving it a felted appearance.
- Its border, dyed in a tobacco color, topstitched with gold thread, brings an elegance that enhances the 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.
