Description
This is an outdoor cushion in a bold striped print, worked in soft pink and warm orange with a gathered ruffle trim running right around the edge. The face carries broad vertical stripes that alternate between the two colours, and the ruffle picks up the same stripe so the trim reads as part of the design rather than a plain border. It measures 50 x 50cm, a generous square that holds its shape well against the back of a seat or bench.
Made for the garden, patio or conservatory, this is a cushion built to live outside rather than one brought out for a single afternoon. It sits happily on rattan or timber furniture, softens a hard bench and brings colour to a corner that would otherwise be all foliage and stone. The stripe is loud in the best way, so one or two go a long way against neutral cushions or a plainer outdoor throw, and it works as well propped on a day bed as it does lined up along an outdoor sofa.
The fabric is 100% polyester, chosen here because it is durable and water resistant, so a passing shower or a splash from a nearby drink will not soak straight through the way a natural fibre would. Polyester also holds printed colour brightly and resists fading better than many alternatives, which matters for something spending its days in the sun. A secure zip closure runs along one edge, so the cover can be taken off when you need to. The ruffle is generous and gathered, giving the square a soft, slightly frilled outline that lifts it above a plain-edged cushion.

Frequently Asked
Can this cushion stay outside in the rain?
The fabric is water resistant, so it will shrug off a passing shower or a spilled drink. We would still bring it in or under cover during heavy or prolonged rain to keep it at its best.
How big is the cushion?
It is a 50 x 50cm square, a generous size that sits well against the back of an outdoor sofa, bench or day bed without looking lost.
Can I take the cover off?
Yes. A secure zip closure runs along one edge, so the cover can be removed from the pad whenever you need to.
What is it made from?
The cushion is 100% polyester, chosen because it is durable, holds printed colour brightly and resists fading better than many natural fibres out in the sun.
Does the ruffle go all the way round?
Yes, the gathered ruffle trim runs around the full edge of the square and carries the same stripe as the face, so the frill reads as part of the design.
