Woven in Gujarat, western India, from antique Mashru, the traditional silk-warp, cotton-weft cloth prized for its lustrous face and cool cotton hand. The mustard-gold band runs widest here of any piece in this batch, set against red, olive, and blush, with the soft irregularities and horizontal creasing typical of hand-reeled silk on a narrow village pit loom. Finished with a cotton canvas back and a button closure, filled with a polyfill insert (down-blend upgrade available for an additional cost).

A hand-loomed Mashru silk-and-cotton lumbar pillow from Gujarat, India, with a wide mustard-gold stripe against red, olive, and blush.
Q: What does a gold-forward striped pillow pair well with? A: The wide mustard band reads warm rather than bright, so it sits comfortably against leather, aged brass, or dark wood tones, less about matching a color scheme than adding warmth to a neutral one.
