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 spruce green 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. Fill the lumbar pillow cover with a plush feather-down or lofty down-alternative insert (sold separately).
