Woven in Gujarat, western India, from antique Mashru, the traditional silk-warp, cotton-weft cloth prized for its lustrous face and cool cotton hand. This pair leans softer than most in the run, its blush-pink stripe sitting wide and high in the sequence against mustard gold, deep red, and olive, with the gentle irregularities and horizontal creasing typical of hand-reeled silk on a narrow village pit loom. Each cover is finished with a cotton canvas back and a button closure, and comes filled with a polyfill insert (down-blend insert upgrade available for an additional cost).

Two lumbars, sold as a set. The wider blush band makes this pair read a shade warmer and less saturated than a typical Mashru stripe, a good anchor for a room already carrying a lot of red or olive elsewhere.

A pair of hand-loomed Mashru silk-and-cotton lumbar pillows from Gujarat, India, with a wide blush-pink stripe set against mustard, red, and olive.

Q: Why do Mashru pillows sometimes have a softer or "faded" stripe next to bolder colors? A: Mashru's silk warp takes natural dye differently strand to strand, and decades of light and handling soften certain dye lots faster than others. The wider blush band here is original coloring, not fading from damage.
