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.

What Makes this Pillow Special?

Each pillow cover is made from vintage handwoven indigo corte fabric — a traditional Mayan skirt textile that had a life long before it was thoughtfully reimagined for the home. The original hand-embroidered randa seam is preserved in the design, adding texture, history, and a beautiful reminder of the hands that made and wore the textile before it became a pillow. And because the indigo fabric has an easy, almost denim-like quality, it works a little like your favorite pair of jeans: relaxed, timeless, and surprisingly easy to pair with almost anything.

About the Randa Seam

Each pillow has a decorative hand-embroidered seam called a randa. Traditionally, a randa joins two woven panels together.

On these pillows, it becomes both a practical detail and a little work of art — a quiet reminder that skilled hands touched every step.

Care Instructions

Hand wash cold; lay flat to dry.

What is a Corte?

A corte is a traditional Mayan skirt textile, often handwoven on foot looms and worn as part of daily dress. These indigo pillow covers begin with vintage cortes, giving each piece history before it ever reaches your home.

RUTH AND NAOMI is a sewing and crafts cooperative in Chichicastenango, Guatemala founded by local tailor and Methodist pastor, Diego Chicoj. The cooperative began as a way to provide a source of income to widows of Guatemala’s Civil War. Now, both men and women sew and weave tableware, pillows, and blankets. They also crochet bags and coasters.
