Small pillowcase with lots of craftsmanship and history 

NOTE! only pillowcases

This beautiful pillowcase is the result of extensive craftsmanship. First the fabric is dyed and then the fine bird cage pattern is printed with block printing. Then the fabric is sent to the women who embroider the little birds by hand. Finally, the entire fabric is decorated with the characteristic small kantha stitches.

The embroidery technique is called Nakshi Kantha, an ancient method that was originally used to reinforce and repair worn textiles in a decorative way. Each pillow therefore carries both tradition and unique craftsmanship.

Description
At Afroart, they want to collaborate with local craftsmen and artists from countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. The aim is to make the craft visible in areas where the craft is one of the most important sources of income. Afroart’s own design team helps to develop both the design, but also the development of tools, creating new areas of work and at the same time helping the traditional crafts survive. Here the focus is on not wearing down or misusing the earth’s resources. So here is an extra focus on recycling materials. Things are handmade and preferably locally, this is to create life in the cities and not collect the work in larger cities. Afroart imports through fair trade organisations, which ensure that they trade directly from small artisans. The following countries cooperate with Bangladesh, Bolivia, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Ecuador, Ivory Coast, El Salvador, Philippines, Ghana, Guatemala, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Morocco, Mexico, Mongolia, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, Senegal, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Tanzania, Vietnam.
