Description
The Fiesta is a plain velvet cushion cover with contrasting pompoms running along two edges. This one comes in a warm rust orange velvet, with soft khaki-green pompoms picking out the trim, so the colour interest sits at the borders rather than the face. It measures 35 x 50cm, a rectangular lumbar shape rather than a square, which is the size you reach for when you want a cushion to lean back against rather than fill a whole seat. The cover is made from 100% polyester velvet, which gives it that dense, light-catching pile you can see shifting across the front of the cushion in the photograph.
A lumbar cushion at this size earns its place on a sofa or an armchair, tucked into the small of your back where a large square would be too bulky. It also sits well propped against the pillows on a bed, or at either end of a window seat. The rust body is a strong, saturated orange that works against deep greens, warm neutrals and dark timber, and the khaki pompoms give you a second colour to echo elsewhere in the room. Because the front is plain, it partners easily with patterned pieces without competing with them.
The cover closes with a hidden zip, so the fastening stays out of sight and nothing interrupts the run of the velvet. The pompom trim is stitched along the two shorter edges, as the photographs show, giving the cushion its playful, tactile character. Being polyester, the velvet is hard-wearing and shrugs off everyday marks rather than holding onto them. Please note the cover is not machine washable, on account of the pompoms; it may be ironed. The Fiesta range runs across several bright, festival-inspired colourways, so you can mix rust with the other tones if you want a livelier grouping.

Frequently Asked
Is this a cover only or does it include a filling pad?
The record describes this as a cushion cover with a hidden zip closure, so you should plan to add a 35 x 50cm insert to fill it.
Can I put this cushion cover in the washing machine?
No, it is not machine washable because of the pompoms. The record confirms it can be ironed if you need to freshen the velvet.
What size cushion is this and what is it best for?
It is a 35 x 50cm rectangular lumbar cushion, which suits back support on a sofa or armchair rather than filling a full seat.
What is the cover made from?
The cover is 100% polyester velvet, which gives a dense, soft pile that catches the light and stands up well to everyday use.
What colour are the pompoms?
The pompoms are a soft khaki green, chosen to contrast with the rust orange body of the cushion along the two trimmed edges.
