Blue Geometric Standard Sham, "Rajasthani Indigo"

Few textile manufacturers still take the time to process natural indigo or block-print fabrics, but both practises continue to flourish in Rajasthan, India, where this handcrafted bedding is made using techniques that have been perfected over centuries. Bundles of the indigo plant are soaked to extract the vibrant dye, while long sheets of cotton are laid out awaiting the colour. With hand-carved wooden blocks, a wax resist is applied to the fabric. When dyed, the wax areas remain white while the rest takes on the evocative hues of midnight, lapis lazuli, and cerulean that all begin with the tropical indigo plant. This standard-size cotton pillow sham is the finishing touch for an elegantly-made bed.

Please note: Blue pillow sham only; duvet cover and accent pillows not included.
