Our cushions are the epitome of sustainable home decor. Made from worn or imperfect antique textiles which might otherwise have been lost but which remain beautiful and worthy of re-imagining in less traditional ways. We clean and repair highly attractive fragments from our extensive collection to form covers and fill them with pure British wool which is more allergy friendly than feathers and also helps support the UK wool industry
