18 inch Atlas Throw Pillow with Hand Embroidered Wool Design
A Rather Splendid Cushion with Genuine Tunisian Craftsmanship
Here's the thing about throw pillows: most are utterly forgettable. This one, however, is rather different. We've sourced something genuinely marvellous from a small group of women artisans in Tunis who pour their considerable talents into each piece. Hand-woven cotton, embellished with striking black wool embroidery and finished with petite tassels that give it just the right amount of personality without being precious about it.
Why Choose Our Throw Pillow
Authentically Handcrafted: Each pillow is carefully spun, woven and embroidered by skilled women in Tunisia's capital, meaning no two are entirely identical and your cushion carries genuine artisan value.
Thoughtfully Made Cover: The 18 by 18 inch cover features a proper zipper closure, making it beautifully practical when you inevitably spill your coffee.
Quality Filled Insert: Comes with a pillow form made in the USA using high thread count covering and hypoallergenic polycotton filling, so it's rather lovely to rest your head on.
Berber Heritage Design: Drawing from Tunisia's rich cultural traditions, the geometric patterns are rather fabulous and work splendidly in almost any room.
Product Details
Dimensions: 18 by 18 inches.
Materials: Hand-woven cotton cover with black wool embroidery and tassels. USA-made pillow form with hypoallergenic filling.
Care: Hand wash only to preserve the integrity of the embroidery and keep it looking rather gorgeous for years to come.
A properly made piece like this doesn't come along often. If you're after something with genuine character and a story worth telling, this is rather your sort of thing.
There is no warehouse. That is rather the point, and it does have consequences.
Every brand here packs and posts its own orders, in its own boxes, with tracked delivery. The brands you can see are the ones that ship to your country, so your parcel is usually making a fairly short journey: a potter in Bristol posting to Britain, a studio in California posting within America.
Which does mean that an order from three brands arrives as three parcels, posted by three different people, on three different days. Whether that is an inconvenience or a small extended birthday rather depends on your temperament. It also means three lots of postage, shown before you pay, because we would rather mention it here than at the till.
Roughly how long
UK Domestic: 2–5 business days
Coming from further afield: 7–14 days. Usually quicker, but let's not prmise and it will be a lovely surprise!
Estimates, not promises. Each brand sends its own tracking, so you will be kept extremely well
Need help? Just ask.Our small team is here.
Fourteen days from delivery to tell us you have changed your mind, and fourteen more to get it back to us. No reason required, and we will not make you give one.
You are allowed to open it and try it on. Handle it as you would in a shop, and we will not quibble. Handle it as you would a rental car and we may deduct something for the difference.
Return postage is yours to pay, because the brand at the other end is a workshop rather than a warehouse. Some cover it themselves, and if yours does you will not be charged. Whatever you paid us to send it out, we refund either way, and the money goes back the way it came within fourteen days of the parcel reaching the brand.
A few things cannot come back, and only these: anything made or personalised to your order, sealed beauty products once the seal is broken, and anything perishable.
If something arrives damaged, faulty or not as described, none of the above applies. It costs you nothing, and we sort it.
Just email mail@brixbailey.com — we'll guide you through it.
