Description
The Savoy Stripe cushion is a square velvet cushion in deep emerald green, worked in cut velvet so that raised stripes run the full length of the front. The stripes catch the light differently from the pile between them, which is what gives the face its subtle gold-green shimmer where the raised rows meet the flatter velvet. It measures 50 x 50cm, the standard scatter-cushion size, and is made from 100% polyester. The reverse is a plain, smooth velvet in the same emerald, so it reads well whichever way it is turned.
A cushion this size earns its place on a sofa or armchair, sitting comfortably against larger back cushions rather than getting lost behind them, and it works equally well propped against pillows on a bed. The dark green suits rooms that already lean warm and layered, and the ridged front gives you texture to play against flatter fabrics like a linen throw or a plain woven cushion. Group two or three together for depth, or let one sit on its own where the light will pick up the stripe.
The cut velvet front and the smooth velvet reverse are both polyester, which holds colour well and resists the crushing that flattens some pile fabrics with regular use. A zip closure runs along one edge, so the cover comes off the pad easily when you want to clean it. Polyester velvet is hard-wearing and keeps its depth of colour over time, which is part of why it is a practical choice for a cushion that gets daily use. Set against neutrals or alongside other jewel tones, the emerald gives a room a grounded, considered feel.

Frequently Asked
What size cushion is this and will it suit a sofa?
It measures 50 x 50cm, the standard square scatter-cushion size, which sits well on most sofas and armchairs without disappearing behind larger back cushions.
Is the cushion the same on both sides?
No. The front carries the cut velvet stripe with its raised texture, while the reverse is a plain, smooth velvet in the same emerald green.
What is the cover made from?
The cover is 100% polyester velvet. Polyester holds its colour well and resists the crushing that can flatten pile fabrics with everyday use.
Can I take the cover off to clean it?
Yes. There is a zip closure along one edge, so the cover slips off the pad easily whenever you need to clean or refresh it.
What colours does it work with?
The deep emerald sits happily against warm neutrals and alongside other jewel tones, and the ridged front adds texture next to flatter fabrics.
