Modela discovered this handwoven cotton at Arturo Hernandez’s workshop and fell in love with it. The natural cotton (unbleached) was first dyed with the shells of pecans before spinning and weaving. While weaving, a few pieces of natural cotton were added as little accents against the background.

We bought the fabric and had 20” x 12” lumbar pillows made. The back is off-white cotton and it has an envelope enclosure for the insert. The result is beautiful. These lumbar pillows add an earthy, natural color to your bed, chair or couch.

Choose from the pillow cover or pillow cover and insert.
