Baule Cushion With Pink Tassels

  These beautiful cushions are made from a lovely old strip-weave by the Baule ethnic group from the Ivory Coast. The textile was handloomed in narrow strips which were then sewn together to make a larger cloth. The pink stripe down the middle of the ikat woven centre is just delightful. For the back of the cushions I've used a vintage handwoven textile from the Songjiang weaving district of Shanghai and this gives a more modern twist to the lovely old patina of the Baule cloth. I've lined the cushions to support the cloth and added pink tassels. There are zip fasteners and feather pads.
