Navy Chevron Lumbar Ikat Cushion Cover

Navy chevrons run the length of a cream cloth, deep enough to read almost as charcoal in low light. The last of the four chevron colourways, and the one that holds its own against dark furniture.

Where it goes

It suits a navy, grey or leather sofa, a study chair, or a bench in a hallway. See the rest of the lumbar cushion covers, or the square ikat pillow covers in the same cloth.

How this ikat is made

The pattern is tied and dyed into the warp threads before a single row is woven — abrbandi, the cloud-binding. Every soft edge on this cover is the dye finding its way past a tie, which is why no two lumbar covers off the same bolt are identical. The cloth is handwoven in Margilan, in the Fergana Valley; the cover is cut and sewn in our own workshop in Bukhara.
