ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
The Kora pillow showcases the artistry of traditional handloom weaving, where skilled artisans blend handspun yarns of silk, wool, and organic cotton into a beautifully textured design. Named after the Hindi word for "raw," this pillow celebrates the natural beauty of undyed yarns left in their pure, authentic state.
Each piece requires the expertise of master artisans who hand wash the textile in a special way, allowing the natural yarn texture to become its own design element. The thoughtful blend of rain-fed organic cotton, handspun silk, and locally sourced wool creates a uniquely textured surface that stands out with quiet elegance.
This large 24" x 24" pillow arrives with a plush down filler and biodegradable packaging, representing a commitment to small batch production and sustainable practices that honor both the craft and the earth.
