This hand-embroidered suzani cushion cover by Madam Stoltz brings colour, craftsmanship and quiet character into your home. The base is woven from soft, lightweight cotton in a warm sand tone, while the embroidery in ruby wine, petrol and melon creates a rich yet balanced palette. It is one of those pieces that instantly makes a sofa or bed feel more layered and inviting, without ever feeling overpowering.
The cotton is light and breathable, with a natural softness that makes it perfect for everyday living. Cotton is a conscious choice: strong, durable and kind to the skin. The gentle weave gives the cushion cover a relaxed texture, while the hand embroidery adds depth and a beautiful tactile quality. You can feel the care in every stitch.
The embroidery is inspired by the Persian art of suzani. The word “suzani” means “needle”, a reference to the centuries-old needlework tradition behind these expressive patterns. Traditionally, suzani textiles were created to celebrate important life moments, and many motifs symbolise happiness, health and fertility. In this cushion cover, those meaningful designs are translated into a contemporary piece that blends tradition with modern living.
The combination of sand, ruby wine, petrol and melon feels warm and worldly, yet calm enough for a modern British interior. It pairs beautifully with natural materials such as wood, linen and ceramics. Combine it with the matching throw for a harmonious, layered look that brings a subtle global atmosphere into your home. This suzani embroidered cushion cover is not just decoration; it is a story of heritage, colour and handcraft woven into everyday life.
