SECONDS - EXTRA LARGE HANDWOVEN COTTON CUSHION COVER IN SOFT CHARCOAL
The cushion covers available in this sale have been classified as seconds, although there is nothing wrong with them. Due to the nature of the handweaving and hand-dyeing process used to create these covers, the fabric can occasionally vary slightly.
In this case, the four extra-large cushion covers included in the sale are just a little darker than the fabric used for the other cushions and daybeds I currently have in stock. I have therefore decided to offer them at a reduced price, although they complement the other pieces beautifully and the difference is minimal.
Please refer to the images to see the variation: the cushion cover for sale is always shown on the bottom, while the fabric used for the other products in this colourway is shown on the top.
Please note that this sale is final and the items cannot be returned or exchanged.
Original Product Description:
We wanted to add something truly comforting to our range. This extra-large cushion cover is the ideal home accessory for snuggling up on the sofa or in bed. Large enough to double up as a pillowcase, it serves to add a relaxed look and feel to a sofa, armchair or bed. We love how this cushion cover looks with a slightly underfilled cushion insert, adding a slouchy, comfortable decorative touch.
Every aspect of these cushion covers has been crafted by hand within the Tensira workshop. The fabric is pure cotton that has been hand-spun, hand-woven, and hand-dyed using a traditional loom within the Tensira workshop in West Africa. The highest level of craftsmanship makes Tensira fabrics durable and timeless, endowing them with a level of quality unmatched by mass-produced items.
Tensira was created by husband and wife team Tuulia and Hamidou. Inspired by Hamidou’s mother, a West African artisanal indigo dyer, Tullia and Hamidou’s aim was to honour and celebrate the traditional crafting methods that the small West African town of Tensira has specialised in for centuries. Tensira creates the highest quality West African textiles while promoting Guinean handcraft and creating long-lasting employment for African craft communities. From start to finish, all Tensira products are made with care within their very own workshop. This ensures not only the highest quality of production but also fair wages and healthy, safe working conditions for all Tensira artisans and collaborators.

Small irregularities in the fabric’s texture and slight variations in colour are characteristic of the artisanal techniques used to create these cushion covers and are not a fault. We have shown the beautiful nature of these irregularities in the images as an illustration, although they vary from item to item.
