Handwoven Corte Throw Pillow Cover
Description
Bring global texture and timeless beauty into your home with our Corte Throw Pillow Covers—handmade, sustainable décor crafted from authentic Mayan textiles. Each pillow cover begins with a vintage Mayan corte, the traditional handwoven skirt worn by Indigenous women in Guatemala. Cortes are known for their soft drape, intricate stripes, special randa, an embroidered seam. The corte fabric is made even more beautiful by years of gentle wear and stone-washing that create a naturally lived-in look. The corte is transformed into pillow covers by the talented artisans of Ruth & Naomi, a sewing and crafts cooperative in Chichicastenango, Guatemala.
Whether you’re looking for designer throw pillows, globally inspired home décor, or unique decorative pillows for your couch or bed, these one-of-a-kind covers bring story, soul, and ethical impact into any space. Their neutral, earthy tones pair effortlessly with modern, boho, eclectic, or minimalist interiors.

What Make Intertwined Products Special?
Intertwined is not simply a shop filled with handmade goods we found along the way (although we do have some of those, too). We design or co-design most of our products in close partnership with skilled artisan makers, combining traditional craft techniques with pieces that feel beautiful, useful, and at home in modern life.
Our artisan partners bring generations of knowledge—handweaving, glassblowing, leatherwork, embroidery, sewing, pottery, and more. We bring design ideas, product direction, and a deep respect for the materials, processes, and people behind each piece.
The result is a collection that feels distinctly Intertwined: handmade, story-rich, thoughtfully designed, and created through relationships—not mass production.
Care Instructions
We recommend dry cleaning your Wool Momo Blanket to preserve its size, texture, and heirloom quality.
These blankets are traditionally finished by soaking in natural volcanic hot springs, which helps bind the wool fibers and gives them their thick, dense, comforting feel. Because wool can continue to felt or shrink with heat, agitation, or sudden temperature changes, we do not recommend machine washing.
For everyday care, shake out gently, spot clean small areas with cool water and mild soap when needed, and air out occasionally. For deeper cleaning, take it to a trusted dry cleaner familiar with wool textiles.
