About this Product
What looks like a series of hearts or ginkgo leaves is actually a classic sashiko pattern called han-maru-tsunagi (linked half circles). Stitched in two tones, it adds a little pop and a contemporary feel. Perfect for those who gravitate toward softer sashiko
The default option includes the pillow cover only. Select “Add Insert” from the option if you would like us to include a pillow insert. We use a down-alternative insert made from 100% polyester, which is machine washable.
✼ SIZE ✼ *
Inside measurement approximately 12”sq. (30cm) and outer at 13 sq. (33cm). * Please allow for some size tolerance, as these are handmade items.
