Made from a Japanese uchikake (wedding kimono), these stunning pillow covers feature cranes (or cranes and royal cart) against a background of maple leaves, peony, and sakura. The red is more of a true red but reads orange due to all the gold threads (closeup photos show actual colour). I have 2 covers in this design available each measuring approximately 12 x 18 inches. The backing is a red heavyweight cotton fabric with an envelope closure. The covers are fully lined in a polyester/cotton blend. Note these designs contain edges that were previously folded under. Visit my store for other covers and wall hanging made from the same uchikake.
An uchikake is typically a heavily woven fabric of silk and synthetic threads worn by the bride on her wedding. Because this fabric was part of a used kimono there may be minor flaws (pinholes, snags) in the fabric. In order to maximize the available fabric, there may be creases where the fabric was folded under and a loosening of the weave along these edges. Please examine all photos store closely and contact me with any questions.
All my pillow covers have reinforced seams where the back panels overlap, and edges are overstitched to minimize fabric fraying. Please note that all pillow forms fit differently and you may either want to use a form slightly larger or smaller than the size of the pillow depending on your personal preference. Recommend professional dry clean only.
All my products come from a smoke-free environment.
