Heritage Jewel Designer Handloom Pure Brocade Banarasi Cushion Cover
View product →
Will the colours look the same in my home as they do in the photographs? +
Banarasi brocade shifts subtly with light because the zari catches it from different angles, so the blues, teals and violets may look slightly deeper or softer depending on your room. Handloom weaving also means each cover carries small natural variation. We photograph under natural-style lighting to stay as faithful as possible to the true shades.

What does the plain satin astar at the back do? +

The brocade face carries the hand-woven artistry, while the satin back keeps the cover comfortable for everyday use.
