These sage green botanical pillow covers bring the quiet elegance of a Marrakech medina garden indoors — each one hand-guided by Hasna, the ribbon embroidery craftswoman, whose raised 3D leaf and petal motifs give the botanical medallion its tactile depth. The cream cotton-silk blend base is overlaid with hand-guided satin ribbon work in sage, olive, and moss green, creating a dimensional effect that flat-thread embroidery cannot replicate.
Key Features
- Ribbon embroidery — hand-guided satin ribbon creates raised 3D botanical leaf and petal motifs, distinct from flat thread embroidery
- Cotton-silk blend front with plain cotton backing — structured yet soft
- 17.4 × 17.4 in (44 × 44 cm) — fits standard 18 in square inserts (inserts not included)
- Hidden zipper — flush at the seam for easy insert changes
- Set of 2 matching covers with symmetrical botanical medallion design
- Each pair is one-of-a-kind: slight variation in ribbon placement is the artisan’s signature
Hasna’s Story
Hasna learned ribbon embroidery in a women’s cooperative near Bab Doukkala in Marrakech, where senior craftswomen pass the technique to new members through year-long teaching cycles. Her specialism is botanical motifs — leaves, petals, and rosette borders that sit above the fabric surface. A single botanical medallion on a cover takes her approximately four hours of hand-guided work to complete.
Product Care
- Care: Dry clean recommended; gentle hand wash in cool water is acceptable — lay flat to dry and do not wring the ribbon clusters
- Backing: Plain cotton
