Miao Wedding Blanket Pillow II

$185.00

Our Miao Wedding Blanket Pillow features a fragment of a one-of-a-kind vintage textile from China. Artisans from the Miao group weave cotton with silk threads to create these brocade fabrics, which were traditionally used as wedding blankets.

The Miao are a minority ethnic group native to the mountainous regions of Southwestern China. Traditionally, a young bride and her family would weave a complex and detailed textile to serve as a gift to her future groom and his family. These wedding blankets feature elaborate brocade motifs using techniques that are passed down from generation to generation.
This pillow is 12” x 20” and comes stuffed with a removable down/feather insert enclosed by an invisible zipper. The back side of the pillow features the same original textile and our signature Meridian tag.

Our Miao Wedding Blanket Pillow contains an authentic and high quality piece of a textile from China. Due to its entirely handmade creation process, no two pillows are exactly the same. Minor imperfections may be visible that speak to the handmade process and tell the story of its creator.
All of our textiles are handcrafted using the finest natural materials. To prevent loosening the shape or weave of the vintage cloth, we recommend dry cleaning our pillow covers.

Our Lao Indigo Pillow features a fragment of a one-of-a-kind vintage textile handwoven by the Lao Tai people of Northern Vietnam.

In this region, weaving techniques are passed down from mother to daughter. Their distinct patterns and motifs are deeply rooted in animism, or the belief that all objects, places and creatures possess a spiritual essence. The symbols in this pillow represent mythically-charged depictions of animals and plants that have a significance to the particular weaver's family and their history.

Our Kerala Pillow has been handwoven on a manual loom by Fair Trade physically challenged artisans in Northern India. Made of pure organic cotton, artisans are trained to enhance each piece with a complex, raised pattern that conveys the beauty and uniqueness of hand loomed textiles.

Weaving on a hand-operated loom is one of the oldest methods of textile production in India. Hand weaving involves interlocking a set of vertical threads (known as the warp) with a set of horizontal threads (the weft), as well as meticulous planning and complex estimation. To create this pillow, artisans use two different color threads.

The artisans who create the Kerala Pillow benefit from being members of a small weaving unit led by a non-profit organization. The work offers them steady employment, life skills training and an avenue for financial independence.
