Description
The Fiesta cushion cover is a plain hot pink velvet rectangle finished with a run of pompoms in contrasting colours along its shorter edges. Made from 100% polyester velvet, the body has the soft, light-catching pile that gives velvet its depth, and the pompoms pick up oranges, yellows and teals against the bright pink ground. Named after the Spanish word for festival, it earns the name through colour rather than any subtle detailing. It measures 35 x 50cm, a lumbar size that sits comfortably against a larger square cushion rather than on its own.
This is a cushion for a room that can carry a strong colour. It works on a sofa or an armchair, layered in front of plainer cushions where the pompom trim can spill over the edge and be seen. The rectangular shape supports the lower back, so it earns its place as much as it decorates. Set against neutral upholstery it does the lifting on its own; set among other bright tones it reads as one voice in a busy, cheerful group. A bedroom bench or the head of a bed suits it equally well.
Polyester velvet is hard-wearing and resists staining, which makes it a practical choice for a cushion that gets handled and thrown about. The cover closes with a hidden zip, so the fastening stays out of sight and nothing interrupts the plain velvet face. Because of the pompom trim it is not suitable for machine washing, but it can be ironed to settle the pile. If you like the shape, it is worth checking the wider Fiesta range, which runs across a set of bright, mixed colourways.

Frequently Asked
Is the cushion pad included or is this a cover only?
The record describes a cushion cover, so please treat it as a cover and choose a 35 x 50cm pad to fill it well.
What is the cover made from?
It is 100% polyester velvet, which gives a soft pile that catches the light and is hard-wearing and resistant to staining in daily use.
Can I put this cover in the washing machine?
No, it is not suitable for machine washing because of the pompom trim, which can be damaged by a wash cycle.
Can I iron it?
Yes, the cover is iron appropriate, which lets you settle the velvet pile and smooth out any creases from storage or use.
What size is it and where does it work best?
It measures 35 x 50cm, a lumbar shape that layers well in front of larger square cushions on a sofa, armchair or bed.
How does the cover fasten?
It closes with a hidden zip along one edge, so the fastening stays out of sight and the plain velvet face is uninterrupted.
