Our Jaipur Pillow collection features a handmade embroidery panel framed by sustainable Belgian linen. Traditional embroidery is a technique from the Kutch and Saurashtra regions of Gujarat in North Western India.
One of the highly recognized and traditional crafts of India, this embroidery features brightly colored and complex hand stitches.
Designs are embroidered on cotton fabric using vibrantly colored threads. A fine awl with a hooked end is held below the cloth and pushed through and back again to create a loop. This process is repeated many times so that a continuous line of chain stitch forms.
Hand stitching is a livelihood for women in remote villages, where their work often depicts their daily lives and surrounding environment.
Each piece of embroidery has a specific story to tell about cultural heritage and the artisan handmade process. Our Jaipur Pillow Collection is a luxurious addition to your home, steeped in tradition and craftsmanship.
This pillow is 14” x 20” and comes stuffed with a removable down/feather insert enclosed by a brass zipper. The back side of our pillow features 100% Belgian linen sourced from a sustainable mill and our signature Meridian tag.
Our Jaipur Pillow collection contains an authentic and high quality piece of embroidery from India. 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, adding to the character and patina of each piece.
All of our textiles are handcrafted using the finest natural materials. To prevent loosening the shape or weave of the cloth, we recommend dry cleaning our pillow covers.

This colorful one-of-a-kind cactus silk pillow was handwoven by the nomadic Berber tribe of the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. The pillow’s saturated colors and embroidered symbols reflect Berber tattoos indicative of the family who made it and the mountainous region where it was created.
Cactus silk is a textile comprised of an all-natural vegetable silk made from the agave plant (a variety of the cactus also known as sabra) found in the Saharan Desert. The process for creating the silk and weaving cactus textiles has remained the same over several centuries. Leaves from the sabra plant are crushed and soaked in water over several days to loosen their fibers, then washed and spun to make silk threads.
All cactus silk is dyed using natural vegetable dyes which allow for highly pigmented and colorful pastel and earthy hues. The weaving process is done entirely by hand on looms. Since the silk is lightweight, supple and sturdy, it is mostly used to create small scale carpets, poufs and pillow covers.
We love that each individual cactus silk has a story to tell about its origins and heritage. Our Cactus Silk pillows are a chic global accent that compliments any space.
This pillow is approximately 18” x 18” and comes stuffed with a removable down/feather insert enclosed by a zipper.
Our cactus silk pillows are authentic and high quality representatives of Berber craft sourced in the Moroccan souk. Due to their entirely handmade creation process, minor imperfections and color variations may be visible that speak to the handmade process and tell the story of its creator. No two pillows are exactly the same.
All of our textiles are handcrafted using the finest natural materials. We recommend a light vacuum or warm iron for general upkeep. Please avoid direct or prolonged sunlight exposure. Blot any liquid spills immediately as they may stain cactus silk textiles. Professional dry cleaning recommended.

Our Huipil Pillow features a fragment from a one-of-a-kind huipil textile from the Rabinal region of Guatemala. To empower and champion the indigenous artisan population of Guatemala, we have partnered with a non-profit organization, Mayan Families, for this special collection. Meridian will donate 20% of every purchase from our Huipil Collection in support of the organization’s programs that provide job training, education, family services, healthcare, and the opportunity for stable work.
Traditionally, a huipil is a garment worn by indigenous women of Central America. This loose-fitting, square-shaped tunic is often made from two or three rectangular pieces of fabric that are joined together with holes for the head and arms. They are typically woven on a backstrap loom and adorned with colorful, hand embroidered designs.
The huipil has been worn by women in the Mesoamerican region since well before the arrival of the Spanish in the 1500s. Most often seen worn by the Mayans in Guatemala (such as this piece) as well as Central and Southern Mexico, the huipil remains the most common female garment still in use today. Many women create special versions of huipil for ceremonial occasions but they also function as an everyday blouse. The designs featured on each huipil vary from community to community, as each region has their own distinct colors, symbols and lengths representing one’s religion and tribal affiliation.
Each huipil has a specific story to tell about cultural heritage, the woman who wore it and the artisan handmade process. Our Huipil Pillows are a luxurious addition to your home, steeped in tradition and craftsmanship. Every purchase will have a direct impact on artisan initiatives in Guatemala, and we are delighted to partner with Mayan Families to support their organization in this effort.
This pillow is 12” x 16” and comes stuffed with a removable down/feather insert enclosed by a brass zipper. The back side of our pillow features 100% Belgian linen sourced from a sustainable mill and our signature Meridian tag.
