Description
The Birdie Stripe cushion is a 45cm square in pure cotton, with a soft slub weave that gives the cloth its gentle, slightly uneven texture. The face carries a printed stripe in a warm oatmeal tone against a natural cream ground, with a fine scalloped edge running down each stripe. A generous gathered ruffle frames all four sides, and the whole cushion closes with a zip so the cover can come off when it needs to.
This is a cushion for the relaxed rooms of the house. It sits comfortably on a sofa, at the head of a bed, or tucked into a favourite reading chair, and its soft neutral colouring means it works alongside almost anything you already own rather than competing with it. The stripe reads as quiet pattern rather than bold colour, so a pair looks settled on a plain sofa and a single one softens a bed without taking over. The gathered frill adds a little country softness that suits linen upholstery and painted timber alike.
Being 100% cotton, the cover is breathable and easy to live with, and the printed stripe is worked into the weave rather than sitting on top of it. The zip closure means you can lift the cover off for cleaning and put it back without fuss, which matters on a cushion that gets daily use. It is offered in this natural colourway with an oat-toned stripe, and a sage green version is shown alongside it if you prefer a cooler tone. Layer the two together, or keep to one, and let the ruffle do the work of softening a room.

Frequently Asked
What is the cushion made from?
It is made from 100% cotton with a slub weave, which gives the cloth a soft handle and a gently textured, slightly irregular surface that feels natural to the touch.
Can I remove the cover to clean it?
Yes. The cover has a zip closure, so you can take it off the pad when it needs freshening up and put it back on again easily afterwards.
How big is the cushion?
The cushion measures 45cm square, a standard size that pairs well on a sofa, sits neatly at the head of a bed, or fills out a reading chair.
What colour is it?
This is the natural colourway, a soft cream ground with an oat-toned printed stripe, so it settles easily into neutral and country-style rooms.
Is the stripe printed or woven?
The stripe is printed onto the cotton cloth, and each stripe carries a fine scalloped edge that gives the pattern a little extra detail up close.
