Asima Cushion Cover: A Tribute to Innovation

Introducing the Asima Cushion Cover, a beautifully crafted piece designed to honor the legacy of Asima Chatterjee, the first female scientist in India. This pillow case is not just a decorative item; it's a testament to the rich heritage of Indian craftsmanship and sustainable practices. Crafted from heirloom organic cotton grown in Gujarat, India, these pillow cases are handwoven on traditional wooden looms by skilled artisans. The result is a natural and earthy vibe that adds a touch of warmth and authenticity to any space.

• Size: 12 x 18 inches
• Material: 100% unbleached cotton

The Asima Cushion Cover is made entirely by hand, ensuring each piece is unique and carries the character of the artisan's skill. The cover features an exposed premium brass YKK zipper, providing a durable and elegant closure. We recommend gentle cold wash with mild detergent to maintain the natural texture and color of the cotton. The subtle irregularities in the weave are a celebration of the handmade process and add to the charm of this product.

Choosing the Asima Cushion Cover is more than just purchasing a home accessory; it's a way to preserve traditional craftsmanship and support rural artisan communities. The handcrafted nature of this pillow case means that it is produced without the need for electricity or punch cards, reflecting the deep-rooted traditions of Indian textile production. The cotton used is heirloom organic, grown with minimal water and without pesticides, making it an environmentally friendly choice. By purchasing this product, you contribute to the continuation of these ancient techniques and help maintain the cultural heritage of India.
