Sashiko-Japanese for "little stabs"-evolved from a practical way to mend and reinforce fabric into an art form in its own right. Inspired by this useful and lovely technique, our pillow cover embellishes mossy green-brown velvet with dainty multidirectional ivory stitches. Skilled artisans embroider the organic cotton velvet by hand for a perfectly imperfect look that's at once timeless and modern.
