HOT ! Handwoven tribal pillowcase, dark gray/black with white streaks, natural color cotton square cushion, decorative 23 inch throw pillow QQ46

Handwoven tribal pillowcase, dark gray/black with white streaks, natural color cotton square cushion, decorative 23 inch throw pillow QQ46

The front fabric is cut from a cotton tunic hand-loomed by the Karen or Karian hill tribe ethnic minority in Thailand. They are also know as Pakeryaw. Many folks call their items \"Hmong\" because the term \"Karen\" has taken on a negative meaning in the west. I, too, am guilty of doing this. Not to mislead people but simply because folks search for Hmong items even though what they are looking for is a Karen item. It\'s unfortunate...

The back of the pillow is constructed from a luxurious, medium weight, linen, hemp, and cotton fabric with corduroy type ridges and a wonderful hand feel. The color is a neutral unbleached mottled beige with slight color variations from the natural fibers. This fabric can have naturally occurring ripples and eddies adding to the country-rustic feel.

Pillow dimensions are 23 inches wide x 23 inches tall. Because of the particular handmade/handwoven characteristics, dimensions are intended as plus or minus half an inch. 

This pillow has an interlining/fusing applied to the rear-side of both the front and back materials to maintain fabric integrity and smashing good looks, and a top-of-the-line, YKK-zippered, fill opening for strength and durability . In addition, all fabric joints have been serged/overlocked to properly seal the edges, prevent fraying, and provide a crisp, clean finish. The last photo shows the professional finish of the inside of all our pillows.

This listing is for the pillowcase only and does not include an insert, unless otherwise noted.

The cotton in these pillow cases is colored using natural, organic, vegetable dyes. This is a more expensive and time-consuming process than using chemical dyes but results in the enchanting character and soft hues of the colors you see in the photos.

Please note that the handwoven textiles used in this pillow may have some aberrations such as wonky threads or other anomalies in the weaving/embroidery.
