The pattern is built into the cloth on the loom with a supplementary weft thread, which is why the motif has a slight raised texture you can feel with a thumb and why it does not fade or crack the way a print does. It is the same construction used for Banarasi saris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy this set\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are the plainest of our four sets and the easiest to live with. The motif is a small repeating diamond rather than a large figurative design, so from across a room they read as texture and colour rather than as pattern. That makes them the set to buy if the cushions have to sit on a sofa year-round rather than come out for a week at Diwali.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is in the set\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGold\u003c\/strong\u003e - diamond weave on a gold ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePink\u003c\/strong\u003e - the same weave in pink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGreen\u003c\/strong\u003e - the same weave in green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRed\u003c\/strong\u003e - the same weave in red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulticolour stripe\u003c\/strong\u003e - red, yellow, green and pink banded across the face\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour solids and one stripe. The stripe is the one that ties the other four together, which is why the set is built this way rather than as five separate colours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere they go\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcross a three-seat sofa, where five is exactly the right number. Split two and three between a sofa and an armchair. On a bed as the front row over plain pillows. On floor cushions for a pooja or mehendi setup. They also work on outdoor seating for an evening, brought in after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe rest of the range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe make four sets of five at the same 16 inch size, so they mix: \u003ca href=\"\/products\/16x16-indian-cushion-cover-set-of-5-bandhani-pillow-covers\"\u003ethe Bandhani set\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/16x16-indian-cushion-cover-set-of-5-elephant-print-pillow-covers\"\u003ethe elephant motif set\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/set-of-5-silk-blend-cushion-covers-16x16-jacquard-brocade-floral-pillows-for-diwali-mehndi-wedding-decor\"\u003ethe Banarasi floral set\u003c\/a\u003e.

The diamond motif is loom-woven into the silk with a supplementary weft, not stitched onto the surface. Brocade and embroidery are different crafts and this is brocade - which is why the pattern cannot pull, snag or unpick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill they fit a standard 16 inch insert?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. They are cut to 16 x 16 inches (40 x 40 cm). If you want a full, plump look rather than a soft one, use an 18 inch insert in the 16 inch cover - that is the usual trick and it works well with brocade because the cloth has body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre cushion inserts included?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. Covers only, five of them. Inserts are cheap and bulky to ship, and most people already have them or prefer their own fill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the back look like?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA plain solid panel in a colour matched to the front, with a hidden zipper along one edge. The back is deliberately quiet so the covers can be flipped or mixed without competing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean them?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nHand wash cold, separately, and line dry in shade. Do not machine wash and do not tumble dry - brocade has metallic thread running through it that abrades in a drum. For a light refresh, steam on the reverse rather than pressing the face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill all five look exactly like the photographs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe designs will. Small differences in how the woven motif falls across each cover are normal and are a consequence of cutting patterned cloth by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the colours fade?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBrocade holds colour well because the pattern is woven rather than surface-printed, but no dyed silk likes months of direct afternoon sun. On a sofa away from a south-facing window they will keep their colour for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat if something arrives damaged?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nShipping is insured.

Return shipping is arranged and paid by the customer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I order several sets?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes - sets are ordered in multiples for weddings and for hospitality.
