Seconds Ellei Home Linen Cushion Cover - Farfalle Fantasia

These gorgeous cushion covers did not meet our quality control standards. They are in perfect, brand-new condition, but the stitching is ever so slightly more distorted than our tolerance allows.

Due to its strong but inelastic fibres and loose weave, linen fabric is prone to shifting during production. While this is inherent in the nature of working with linen, we have a threshold level for all our products to ensure they meet our standards.

These cushion covers are just ever so slightly below our threshold. They still look great, and this is a wonderful opportunity to purchase the same quality cushion covers at a considerably reduced price.

Size: 35 x 60 cm.

The Ellei Home 100% Linen Cushion Cover Collection is a collaboration between Ellei Home and AR Creative Studio. Designed in-house and handmade by Agata Ratajczyk, owner of the small Edinburgh-based sewing studio AR Creative, these cushion covers are handcrafted using 100% European laundered linen.

The design: Named after the colourful pink-and-yellow bowtie pasta, this striped fabric alternates vibrant fuchsia and golden ochre to create a lively, playful look. Finished with an end, rather than a central envelope closure for a sleek, clean finish, each cushion cover is trimmed with a hand-sewn Ellei Home woven cotton label.

The fabric: With a strong heritage in spinning and weaving linen, this cloth is produced in small batches at the oldest flax mill in Lithuania. Laundered and tumbled at the mill for softness, this 155gsm linen has a light, slouchy look and feel that makes it ideal for decorative scatter cushions

Production: Produced in small batches in collaboration between two small Edinburgh-based businesses. Designed by Ellei Home, with consideration given not only to creating a distinctive and expressive aesthetic but also to our preference for thoughtful, circular design. This is why Ellei Home cushion covers are made using 100% linen and an envelope closure rather than buttons, making them easier to reuse, recycle, or biodegrade once no longer needed in their current form. Sewn in very small batches by our neighbour at AR Creative Studio, each cushion cover is carefully made by Agata in her bright studio just 15 minutes down the road from us.

Care Instructions for Cushion Covers

We recommend washing the cushion covers as infrequently as possible to prolong their lifespan. Wash at 30°C with a non-bio detergent free from optical whiteners, using a low-spin cycle. Do not tumble dry. Shake out and dry flat. Linen tightens after washing, but the fibres will relax again with time and use.

Linen naturally crinkles, creases, and moves. With use, your cushion covers will become beautifully soft but show creases and folds in areas of wear. You can iron them for a crisp look, but we see this evolving texture as part of linen’s charm and as an essential element of its relaxed, lived-in character.
