Shaggy, wavy stripes on one side. Bold woven bands on the other.

Meet SWIRLY STRIPES, a small collection of reversible Moroccan cushions, personally combined during our October 2026 sourcing trip in Marrakech.

The textured front is full of movement: loose, shaggy threads follow irregular waves of red, pink, lilac, blue, brown, grey and cream, with occasional touches of yellow.

Turn the cushion around and you’ll find a completely different texture. A creamy flatwoven textile with broader stripes in green, blue, red, orange and pink.

Stripes on both sides, each with its own character.

TWO SIDES, TWO DIFFERENT LOOKS

The shaggy side has wonderfully irregular lines. Colours wander through the weave, with loose threads softening the edges between one shade and the next.

The reverse brings a lighter look: broad coloured stripes separated by creamy bands, with the small irregularities of the original weaving still visible.

Choose Mix for both textures in one cushion, or Stripes for the flatwoven textile on both sides. Just one cushion is available in the double-sided striped version.

We especially love combining the two sides on a sofa. A little shaggy texture beside a few clearer stripes, with shared colours bringing everything together.

Sold separately, beautiful together.

PERSONALLY COMBINED, HANDMADE IN MARRAKECH

For our custom cushion collections, our founder personally selects textiles and tries them together during her sourcing trips.

Sometimes the same fabric works beautifully on both sides. Sometimes it’s an unexpected pairing that makes the choice.

For SWIRLY STRIPES, the contrast between the loose, wavy threads and the broader woven bands was what made the combination work. Both textiles have plenty of colour, but each brings something different.

Selected through Simo and transformed into cushion covers by our trusted maâlem Ayoub in Marrakech, these existing textiles now form a small collection of eleven cushions.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Professional textile cleaning recommended.

Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as the repurposed textiles may contain different fibres and respond differently to washing.

For small marks, gently dab with a soft cloth and a little cold water, testing an inconspicuous area first. Avoid soaking or rubbing.

Handle the shaggy side gently. Do not brush vigorously or pull on loose threads. Protect from prolonged direct sunlight to help preserve the colours.

HANDMADE CHARACTER

Each SWIRLY STRIPES cushion is individually made from repurposed Moroccan textiles.

The colours and stripe placement vary depending on the section used. Some fronts feature more red or blue, others more pink, cream or earthy tones.

Loose threads, uneven pile lengths, irregular weaving and small signs of previous use are part of the original textiles’ character.

The photographs show examples from the collection; the exact arrangement of colours and stripes may differ from cushion to cushion.

Turn it around. Try the other stripes.
