ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
Hand screen printed by skilled artisans in India, this paisley pillow cover brings centuries-old textile traditions into your modern space. The delicate blush and plum pattern blooms across pure linen, creating depth and movement that shifts with natural light throughout the day.
Each piece is crafted using traditional block printing methods, where carved wooden blocks transfer intricate designs onto fabric by hand. The 100% linen construction with cotton lining ensures both durability and softness, while the hidden zipper closure maintains clean lines.
This lumbar size fits perfectly on sofas, reading chairs, or beds where you need gentle lower back support. The natural variation inherent in handprinted textiles means your piece carries the authentic marks of human hands, making each cover subtly unique.

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.
