Sashiko—Japanese for "little stabs"—evolved from a practical way to mend and reinforce fabric into an art form in its own right. Inspired by this useful and lovely technique, our pillow embellishes camel tan velvet with dainty multidirectional ivory stitches. Skilled artisans embroider the organic cotton velvet by hand for a perfectly imperfect look that's at once timeless and modern. We especially love this luxurious and textural pillow tossed on a sofa with others in the same classic hue. Our lumbar pillow includes your choice of a plush feather-down or lofty down-alternative insert.
