ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
Classic chintz blooms in deep indigo hues across this handprinted linen pillow cover. The artisan uses traditional carved wood blocks to create the timeless pattern, printing on both sides for rich visual depth. Each piece carries the legacy of India's textile heritage, where such designs once adorned royal homes.
Crafted from pure linen with cotton lining and finished with a hidden zipper closure. The knife edge construction creates clean lines that complement both modern and traditional spaces. Natural variations in color and pattern speak to the authentic hand printing process.
At 20x20 inches, this cover transforms any space with conscious beauty. The maker works with skilled artisans in India, preserving ancient block printing techniques while creating pieces for contemporary slow living.

Since 1997, Alamwar has worked to keep India's textile traditions alive, a heritage that stretches back to 2500 BC. Its founder and design director, Viji Reddy, is an award-winning artist whose lifelong devotion to handmade textiles shapes all of her creative work, and her younger sister, Archi Reddy, leads the company as president and CEO.
Alamwar draws on the heritage of India's Deccan Plateau, where hand-printed and hand-painted fabrics once made for royalty came to be known as chintz and paisley, and it still keeps an archive of hand-carved wooden blocks. It uses botanical dyes and azo-free alternatives, and it says it follows the principles of slow textiles and produces in small batches. Viji also partners with an Indian NGO that empowers women in rural communities through embroidery and handwork.
In Viji's own workshops in India, a dedicated team of artisans brings her designs to life, and the sisters have opened a new Design Center in Hyderabad. For more than two decades, Alamwar has offered pillows, throws, quilts and other soft goods for the home, and its Resort Boho-Chic fashion collection is sold in boutiques across the United States and the Caribbean.
