Turquoise velvet cushion with traditional weaving from Côte d'Ivoire Soft cushion in turquoise velvet, with a woven band on one side. A nod to travel without even leaving your couch! It is in Grand Bassam, Côte d'Ivoire where these colored cotton bands are woven, sometimes mixed with silk threads or golden threads. It is the men who practice this craftsmanship, passed down from father to son for generations. The kita is the name of the woven cloth by the Baoulé ethnic group; these narrow bands are then assembled and sewn side by side. A friend, back from a trip, brought them to me... and I made cushions from them. Dimensions: 40 cm x 40 cm Materials: Cotton, Velvet (polyester) Polyester filling cushion Zipper Washable at 30° – lay flat to dry, iron at low temperature
