Description
The Bardot cushion is a cut-velvet piece built around a bold geometric pattern of interlocking half-circles and blocks. The front is worked in cut velvet, a pile fabric where the raised loops are sheared to give that dense, light-catching surface, and here the design plays gold against deep and soft greens, a muted blue-grey and off-white. It measures 50 x 50cm square, the standard size for a scatter cushion, and is made from 100% polyester throughout.
This is a cushion for a sofa, an armchair or the head of a bed, and it earns its place where you want a spot of pattern rather than a quiet neutral. The retro, rounded shapes and the gold-and-green palette sit happily against dark upholstery and plain walls, and the square 50cm format is generous enough to work on its own or to layer with smaller and lighter cushions around it. Group it with plainer velvets in matching tones if you want the pattern to lead, or let it stand alone as the one worked piece in a simpler arrangement.
The reverse is a plain soft velvet in gold, so the cushion reads well from behind, and it closes with a hidden zip that keeps the line of the cover clean. The edges are finished with a standard knife edge, a simple stitched seam rather than a piped or flanged trim. Being polyester, the pile is hard-wearing and holds its colour well, which matters on a cushion that gets sat against and moved about. Please check the sewn-in care label before cleaning, as no washing instructions were supplied with this piece.

Frequently Asked
Is the cover the same pattern on both sides?
No. The geometric cut-velvet design is on the front only. The reverse is a plain soft velvet in gold, so it still looks finished from behind.
What size is this cushion?
It is a 50 by 50cm square, the standard scatter-cushion size, which suits a sofa, an armchair or the head of a bed and layers easily with other sizes.
What is cut velvet?
Cut velvet is a pile fabric where the raised loops are sheared level, giving a dense surface that catches the light and shows the pattern with real depth.
How does the cover fasten?
It closes with a hidden zip, which keeps the seam line clean and makes it straightforward to take the cover off the pad when you need to.
Is polyester velvet hard-wearing?
Yes. Polyester pile is durable and holds its colour well over time, which makes it a practical choice for a cushion that gets regular use.
