Description
The Birdie Stripe cushion is a 45cm square made from pure cotton slub, with a printed stripe on its face and a gathered frill running all the way round. The centre panel carries a soft pink ground broken by vertical scalloped stripes, and the ruffle picks up the same print in green and coral, so the trim reads as a frame rather than an afterthought. Being cotton slub, the cloth has a slightly irregular, textured surface where the yarn varies in thickness, which is what gives it that relaxed, lived-in look rather than a flat machine finish.
At 45cm this is the standard sofa cushion size, the one that sits comfortably against the back of a two or three seater without swallowing the seat or getting lost among larger scatter cushions. The pink and green pairing suits a soft, country-leaning scheme and works happily on a bed as a front layer or on a favourite armchair. The scalloped stripe is busy enough to hold its own but gentle in colour, so it mixes with plain linens and other soft prints without competing. As the photograph shows, it has a matching green-toned sibling if you want to build a pair across two colourways.
The cover is cotton throughout and closes with a concealed zip, so it comes off for cleaning and goes back on easily. The frill is the defining detail here: a generous gathered edge that softens the square outline and adds movement when the cushion is plumped. Cotton washes and wears well over time, and the slub texture is forgiving of everyday handling. Style it as a single accent against a neutral sofa, or lean it into the wider country look with the green colourway alongside.

Frequently Asked
What is the cushion made from?
The cover is 100% cotton slub, a woven cotton with a deliberately uneven yarn that gives the surface a soft, textured, slightly rustic feel.
Does the cover come off for cleaning?
Yes. It has a concealed zip closure, so the cover slips off the pad easily when you need to freshen it up.
How big is the cushion?
It is a 45cm square, the standard scatter cushion size that sits well against the back of a sofa or on a bed.
What does the frill trim look like?
A gathered fabric ruffle runs around all four edges in a green and coral scalloped stripe, framing the softer pink centre panel.
Will it match other cushions?
The soft pink and green tones sit comfortably with plain linens and gentle prints, so it layers easily into a country or cottage scheme.
