San Antonio Pillow Cover - Hand-Loomed Wool

This pillow cover is hand-loomed from hand-spun wool on traditional pedal looms. The maker is a design studio that works with artisan weavers across several countries, including Guatemala and India, managing each piece from design through finishing.

Because the wool is spun and woven by hand, the texture and natural color vary from one cover to the next. The studio focuses on sustainable sourcing and on supporting the artisan communities who do the weaving.
