Deck the halls—and your couch—with our limited-edition Holiday Huipil & Hemp Pillow Covers, where vibrant tradition meets festive style. These colorful Christmas pillow covers are handmade using upcycled vintage Guatemalan huipils—the richly embroidered, handwoven blouses traditionally worn by Mayan women—and paired with luxuriously soft, sustainable hemp fabric in warm, neutral tones.

Crafted in seasonal hues of red and green, these festive throw pillows make stunning holiday home decor accents. Whether you're styling your sofa, sprucing up your guest room, or creating a cozy reading nook, these handmade holiday pillow covers instantly add warmth, texture, and story to any space.

The huipil panels are sourced in Guatemala and combined with fair-trade hemp from India, grown and woven by The Hemp Foundation—a nonprofit empowering farmers through regenerative agriculture. Each decorative pillow cover is then lovingly sewn in North Carolina by Afghan refugee women rebuilding their lives through dignified work with Intertwined: Handmade for Good.

Ethical, colorful, and one-of-a-kind, these sustainable holiday pillows are perfect for conscious consumers looking to shop with purpose this season.

Handmade Vintage

This product is made with handmade, upcycled fabric. We believe the minor imperfections associated with vintage fabric are part of the charm and uniqueness of the item. We do our best to take photos that accurately represent the true colors and worn nature of the handwoven fabric, but colors vary across monitors, and photos can’t highlight all aspects of a product.

Due to the handwoven nature of this item, the sizes may vary slightly.

More About the Artisan...

OUR AFGHAN FRIENDS arrived in Greensboro, North Carolina in 2021 from Afghanistan, fleeing the country as refugees when the Taliban resumed power. We cannot use their names because some family members remain in Afghanistan. In Greensboro, they have quickly adjusted to their new lives and have found various jobs to provide additional support to their family. They use their expert seamstress abilities to assemble Intertwined's mixed-textile handmade throw pillows, combining fabrics (vintage and new) from various countries with our signature hemp fabric. They also create our stunning handmade bags from upholstery fabric that would otherwise end up in the landfill.
