In this treasure trove of vibrant colours, intricate patterns, textures and sparkles, it can be very difficult to choose! With intricate printed patterns and luxurious smooth textures, saris are works of art, often passed down families through generations. Nepali culture is very waste-conscious and re-purposing fabrics that have reached the end of one stage of their lives is commonplace. We have given these fabrics a new lease of life, and another chance to tell their stories. Every piece is one of a kind. Almost all options will contain some silk and some options will be 100% silk; as these are recycled fabrics, we do not have access to the individual composition per item. These products are not suitable for vegans. The pillow inner is made from soft woven cotton called kora in Nepal. It is filled, in our Hastings studio, with dried rice and flax seed (linseed), both UK sourced, and UK grown dried lavender. Lavender has been found to have positive impacts on mood, stress and anxiety, and to aid insomnia. Lavender is the traditional material for the 26th wedding anniversary gift.
The pillow can be used effectively at room temperature. To ease tension headaches and migraines, the pillow inner may be heated in a microwave: max. 700W in 10sec increments up to max. 30sec (approx. temperatures: 10sec = 28C, 20sec = 36C, 30sec = 42C). To soothe tired eyes or to aid hay fever symptoms, the pillow inner may be cooled in a freezer for 15-30min. Please gently remove the outer pillowcase before heating or cooling.
