This beautiful cushion cover is designed by Eu Chonay, who learned everything about traditional weaving from her mother. When Chonay moved to the city of Antigua, she decided to take what she learned and start a small workshop. This mustard yellow throw pillow cover is woven on a handloom with geometric designs down the centre. The reverse side is a colourful medley of the covers on the front, with a zipper along one side.

Eu Chonay credits her mother for who she is today, as her mom taught her everything about traditional weaving. When the young artisan moved to the city of Antigua, she decided to take what she learned and start a small project. Today, she designs textiles and works with other artisans to create beautiful pieces such as this mustard colour cushion cover, woven on a handloom with geometric designs. The reverse side is a melange of multicolour jaspe threads with a zipper along the side.
