Caliche Plain Cotton Cushion - Natural

The Caliche is a cushion built around texture. Its front face is pure cotton worked in several weaves at once: subtle braided stripes run across the width, and between them the cloth alternates between a fine flat weave and an open basket weave. The close-up shows how these bands sit side by side, giving the surface real depth and a quiet, handmade character rather than a single printed pattern. It measures 40 x 60cm, the classic lumbar rectangle that sits along the back of a sofa or across the head of a bed.

This is a cushion for a relaxed, neutral room. The natural cream and oatmeal tones photographed here are warm rather than stark, so it settles easily against a linen sofa, a leather chair or a wooden bench. The rectangular shape does the job a square cannot, filling the lower gap when you stack it in front of larger square cushions, or lending lumbar support in a reading corner. Because the interest is all in the weave and not in colour, it layers happily with bolder patterns without competing against them.

Every corner is finished with a full cotton tassel bound in a contrasting darker thread, a detail you can see clearly at each point of the cushion. The reverse is plain cotton, and the cover closes with a hidden zip so it lifts off cleanly. As pure cotton, the cover is breathable and takes a wash well, softening a little with each one. This colourway sits within a wider Caliche range offered in several earthy tones, so you can mix warm neutrals with a rust or a soft green from the same weave.

What is the cushion made from?

The cover is 100% cotton throughout, with a woven textured front and a plain cotton reverse, so the whole cover is a single breathable natural fibre.

How big is it and where does it work best?

It measures 40 x 60cm, a rectangular lumbar shape that suits the back of a sofa, a bed or a reading chair rather than a square scatter position.

Does the cover come off for cleaning?

Yes. There is a hidden zip along one edge, so the cover lifts off the pad cleanly for washing or for swapping between rooms.

How should I care for it?

Being pure cotton it washes well and grows a little softer over time. Follow the care label sewn into the cover, as the supplier has not stated wash settings here.

Will the tassels stay put?

The four corner tassels are cotton bound in a contrasting darker thread at each corner, worked into the seam so they form part of the finished edge.

Does it come in other colours?

Yes, the Caliche weave is offered in a range of earthy tones, so you can pair this natural cream with warmer rust or soft green versions from the same design.
