Description
Hand crafted by our women artisans in rural Vietnam and Cambodia, this quilt features traditional SE Asian Batik fabric. Batik is an old Indonesian technique of wax-resist dyeing which make your quilt absolutely unique.
The quilt is made of 100% cotton and is composed of numerous batik fabric pieces worked together in diamond formations and framed in a complementary border. Each Batik piece is hand pieced together and features colorful flower patterns 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. 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.
Typically a double bed quilt takes about 4 weeks of precise and careful hand work. Mekong Quilts is proud to provide sustainable and rewarding employment to about 300 women who have roughly doubled their income, allowing them to stay close to their children.
