Day of the dead embroidered cat filled cushion

This colourful cushion is a stylised ode to the surrealist artist Frida Kahlo with a customised pastiche of one of her iconic self-portraits. The original painting portrays more onerous intent, whereas this presents the artist’s softer side and her delight in nature. The textile and crewelwork embroidery renders her in a more beauteous, colourful and honeyed mode, complete with a bobble trim. The supplier of this bright and breezy cushion employs sixty people, half of whom are cottage workers, twenty are employed at the factory and ten are sub-contractors. Employees receive benefits in addition to statutory wages and are happy, long-standing members of the company. This company supplies us with beautiful textiles such as cushions and scarves and they use cotton, polyester, jute fabric and even recycled plastic bags and cotton fibre in their work. On the subject of recycling, they harvest water and making factory improvements is an ongoing process. This polyester-filled cushion introduces a lovely pop of colour and an eye-catching highlight to any room. Why we love this product!
