Leopardis Reversible Polyester Cushion - Black/Gold

This is the Leopardis reversible outdoor cushion, a 50 x 50cm square in 100% polyester with a printed design on both faces. One side carries a hand-painted trio of leopards prowling within a dark central medallion, framed by amber and green palm fronds. The reverse is a watercolour leopard print in grey and gold on a pale ground. Because it is reversible, you are effectively buying two looks in one cover, and you choose which face shows depending on the mood you want.

It is built for outdoor use, so it earns its place on a garden bench, a patio sofa or a covered veranda where a run of scatter cushions softens hard seating. The bold central-motif face works as a focal cushion at either end of a bench, while the all-over print reverse sits happily as a filler or as a pairing with plainer neutrals. Indoors it is equally at home on a reading chair or a window seat, and the palm-and-animal theme groups well with other pieces in the wider Leopardis range, including the seated single-leopard cushion shown alongside it.

The fabric is polyester, which is quick to dry and holds printed colour well, and the maker describes it as water-resistant, so a shower will not soak straight through it the way natural fibres can. A zip closure runs along one edge, so the cover comes off for cleaning and the pad can be removed. Polyester is a hard-wearing, low-stretch fibre that keeps its shape through repeated use outdoors. Style it in a small cluster, alternating the leopard-trio face with the spotted reverse, to make the most of a cover that gives you two prints for one purchase.

Can I use this cushion outside?

Yes, it is made for outdoor use from water-resistant polyester, so it copes with a garden bench or patio sofa and shrugs off a light shower.

Is it really reversible?

It is. One face shows the hand-painted trio of leopards within a palm-framed medallion, and the reverse is an all-over leopard-spot print, so you can flip it to change the look.

How big is the cushion?

It is a 50 x 50cm square, a standard scatter size that pairs neatly with other cushions of the same dimension along a bench or sofa.

How do I clean it?

A zip closure runs along one edge so the cover can be removed. The supplier gives no wash instructions, so please check the sewn-in care label before cleaning.

What is the cover made from?

The cover is 100% polyester, a hard-wearing fibre that dries quickly and holds printed colour well, which is why it suits outdoor scatter cushions.
