quality decor

Ivory diamonds decorate a sage hue to create this splendid home accent from Guatemala. Designers Miriam and Debora work with local artisans to craft this cushion cover from cotton yarns, combining the graceful colors in a refined piece equipped with tassels on each corner and a handy back opening.

Inspired by the traditional dress of women from the city of Tactic, Guatemalan duo Miriam and Debora design this cushion cover with a traditional aesthetic. Local artisans work on traditional telares de cintura, or backstrap looms, to hand-weave the cushion cover of cotton. It features intricate geometric motifs in eggshell and white, completed around the edges with hand-knotted tassels. At the back, the cover opens with a slit for inserting a cushion.

Jamriang crafts a set of three contoured face masks for comfort and fit. The ivory mask is a hemp and cotton blend while the blue polka dot and check masks are cotton. Each one has three layers of fabric as well as a double layered cotton lining with an opening so you may insert a protective layer of tissue or paper towels. All are both washable and reusable, and feature elastic to loop over the ears.

Miriam and Debora are designers who saw the potential that traditional weavers had in making quality products, but decided that the designs needed updating. One result is this 100% cotton hand woven throw pillow case with a streamlined version of a traditional geometric motif.
