Description
The Ditsy Bows cushion is a rectangular velvet cushion in deep red, its front scattered with small embroidered bows in red, green, cream and white, each one tied a little differently. Down the two short sides runs a gathered ruffle in green and white gingham, so the check frames the embroidery from either edge. It is a plush velvet made from 100% polyester, which gives it a soft, even nap and a fabric that holds its colour well through everyday use. The velvet reverse is plain deep red, and a zip closure runs along one edge.
At 30 by 50cm this is a bolster-shaped cushion rather than a square one, the long, low proportion that sits well propped against the arm of a sofa or laid across the head of a bed. The embroidered bows and gingham trim give it a playful, modern country feel, so it works alongside plainer cushions in red, green or cream and earns its place as the pattern in a group. It suits a living room sofa, a reading chair or a bedroom, and the seasonal red and green make it a natural fit for winter and Christmas styling.
The face is embroidered rather than printed, so the bows sit slightly raised against the smooth velvet, and the gingham ruffle is gathered to give a full, frilled edge along each short side. The zip closure means the cover can be taken off the pad when you need to, and it keeps the seam clean and secure. Because the whole thing is polyester, it is a hard-wearing, easy-living fabric that copes with a busy room. Group it with other cushions in the same red and green palette, or let it stand on its own against a neutral throw.

Frequently Asked
What is the cushion made from?
The cover is 100% polyester velvet, a soft, hard-wearing fabric with an even nap that holds its colour well through regular use in a busy room.

Does the cover come off?
Yes, there is a zip closure along one edge, so you can take the cover off the pad when you need to.
What does it style well with?
The red and green palette works with plainer cushions in red, green or cream, and the seasonal colours suit winter and Christmas styling.
