Authentic ‘Kingfisher’ block printed Indian pillow case. Meticulously constructed, each Kantha pillowcase has been sewn in the Oxford style with a smart fabric border. This vibrant watercolour paint-style print depicts flying kingfisher birds, dragonflies, plants, and ornate patterns. Using the traditional Indian colour palette, the beautiful contrast of pink, yellow, and green makes for a stunning statement for your bedroom.

Pair with our Kingfisher quilt/throw over for a gorgeous matching set.

Block printing is an ancient technique mastered throughout the generations, originating from India and dated back to the pre-Vedic age (pre-1500 BCE).

Aiming to keep the cultural crafting technique alive, we collaborate with our team of talented artisans to create exclusive, contemporary designs. Co-founder Amy hand-illustrated the design in a colourful palette reminiscent of Indian summers.

Inspired by Amy's love of gardening, and the dragonflies which dance across her pond in the summer months.
