Item Description
These cushions are made from a vintage handwoven wedding blanket by the White Tai, an ethnic minority from China, Vietnam, Laos and Thailand. They are so called because of the colour of their clothing. The blanket is woven in thick indigo dyed cotton, with pattern in floss silk supplementary weft. The colours are all natural dyes and have faded over time. The backs of the cushions are a homespun by the Hmong in Thailand and have been overdyed purple.
The cushions have zip closure and feather pads.
