Kora Black Large Handloom Artisanal Pillow
Kora Black Pillow is a slightly textured handwoven pillow where our artisans have skillfully blended handspun yarns like silk, wool and organic cotton. The beauty of this pillow is in its pure design that stands out with the blended use of un dyed yarns left in its natural state. This classic design is hand washed in a special way so that the texture of the natural yarn becomes its own design element. Kora means raw in Hindi language and we see this textile standout with its naturally treated yarns left in their raw natural colors ( undyed ) .
Requiring attention to detail and finishing, It takes an incredibly skillful master artisan to make this special piece which is unique to the artisan cluster it originates from.
