薯莨 SHULIANG CUSHION COVER

Our cushions are versatile. One side celebrates the diversity of traditional Dong fabric patterns, with a delicate patchwork of shuliang root (Chinese yam), mugwort and jixueteng (milletia root) dyed fabrics. The other brown side symbolizes, with its embroidered line, the flow of the river that feeds the Dong Lands. The delicate buttons remind us of traditional Chinese clothing.

You can thus change the decor in your home, according to your desires and the energy of the moment. We offer two patterns of patchwork fabrics of the Dong people, a straight pattern inspired by Mondrian paintings and a pattern with diagonal lines.

COMPOSITION

100% indigenous organic cotton dyed with shuliang root for brown tones, mugwort for green and jixueteng for beige

Hand-spinning cotton yarns & handwoven cotton on traditional looms

DYEING

All our garments are naturally dyed with medicinal plants in the mountains of Guizhou. At DEYI 德逸, we only use natural dyes and no chemicals, because we are committed to design while respecting Nature. Thus, our fabrics can present some differences of tone in their surface that depends on local meteorological conditions & on the way in which each artisan has worked the material.

Each fabric is unique: they are a testimony of several days of handmade work. Small imperfections in the weave or dyeing cannot be considered as defects. They are inherent to the artisanal character of our pieces. Imperfections means humans behind your piece.

TRACEABILITY & SUSTAINABILITY

All our cushion covers are handmade with care and love by our female artisans from the Dong indigenous community, according to ancestral gesture. They work in small remote villages in the province of Guizhou, in Rongjiang County. We invite you to read the moving stories of our artisans on our website.
