Our Taika Cushion Cover is handwoven from 100% natural tussar silk, cultivated in the forests of India's Bastar and Assam. The striped pattern is crafted using an ancient Indonesian printing technique called Batik, which involves melting wax onto the silk and then pouring the green dye over the top. Once the wax is removed it leaves a stripe of the natural colour in its place that has not been saturated with the dye. Due to the artisanal techniques used, each piece will have individual characteristics that add to their charm.
