Although there is an intricacy to the De La Espada Pillows that belies a true talent for embroidery, I can't help but sense a childlike presence to the scribbly patterns. Playful and unassuming, the De La Espada Pillows would add cute character to any home.
Designed by Charlene Mullen, the De La Espada Pillows were inspired by Ukrainian folk costumes. Hand-embroidered using thick tapestry wool, which is braided and couched down onto natural linen, each cushion features vibrant colors and expressive contour lines. Stuffed with feathers, they are also extremely comfortable, making them perfect for a homey environment.
