Description
Hand crafted by our women artisans in rural Vietnam and Cambodia, this quilt features the traditional symbol of Happiness. This symbol has been embraced in Vietnamese culture as a cultural element to spread joy and good fortune throughout the country in all situations.
The quilt is made with 100% tonal silk patch worked together in diamond formations and bordered with cotton . Each diamond is hand stitched with the Happiness symbol and framed within a thin and elegant border. The backing is simply one fabric in a complementary colour in 100% cotton. Between the hand-stitched layers is a filling of polyester batting for warmth and comfort. The layers are hand-stitched together in intricate stitching patterns to prevent shifting and to keep the layers secure for the long life of the cushion.
Our quilts are of the highest quality and easy to look after. Silk quilts will need to be dry cleaned. For cotton quilts, simply machine wash with cold water on a delicate setting with mild laundry detergent, then lay out flat to dry in the shade. It will become softer and cozier with every wash.
It is guaranteed to bring individuality and happiness to any home.
