Cotton khadi cushion cover

This cushion cover in Khadi cotton plays on contrasts with its white background of heavy cotton with a felted look and its black outlines which hem in each cover.

Khadi belongs to this 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 fibre on a wheel, or 'charkha': the subtle irregularities in the weave give it all its nobility. It's a soft, supple fabric that's also versatile, being cool in summer and warm in winter.

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