Description
Description
These cushions, handcrafted by Burmese weavers from the Kachin ethnic group, are the result of ancestral know-how and remarkably refined techniques.
Each piece is entirely handmade, with meticulous attention to every detail. The patterns, inspired by the cultural traditions of the Kachin people, are woven with carefully selected threads, creating unique textures and an exceptional visual appeal.
By choosing one of these cushions, you’re not only bringing home an original decorative item — you’re also helping to preserve a rare and precious craft.
Beyond the beauty and quality of each cushion, your purchase actively supports an ethical and responsible initiative.
Thanks to the Opportunity for Women association, 100% of the proceeds go directly to the weavers. This empowers them with financial independence, recognition of their work, and improved living conditions.
What’s more, by choosing these cushions, you’re making an eco-conscious decision — supporting a local, artisanal, and environmentally friendly production.
Each cushion purchased is a double commitment: celebrating a unique craft and contributing to a sustainable and solidarity-based economy.
