Where it goes
It pairs naturally with the indigo and red flat bolster cover and with denim or indigo cushions; on a bed it sits well against white cotton. See the rest of the ikat bolster covers, or the lumbar cushion 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 is the dye finding its way past a tie. The cloth is handwoven in Margilan, in the Fergana Valley; the cover is cut and sewn in our own workshop in Bukhara.
Sewn to order and dispatched from Bukhara within 24 hours by Uzbekiston Pochtasi tracked airmail: USA 9–18 working days, Europe and the UK 8–16, elsewhere 10–20.
