Description

These intricate cushions are made to order. They come with a discrete embroidery signature by the maker and, if you so wish, your name or the name of the person you are giving it to. Backed with either heavy linen or velvet, they are stunning works of art that you will love forever. This is a cushion that makes a huge difference: it provides a Syrian refugee woman with income enough for two weeks’ food and rent for herself and her family.
