We have 1 in stock

This pillow cover is made from an authentic vintage postal sack from France. This fabric spent many years in service before being retired and being repurposed into French history for your sofa

The fabric is mated on the back with our green Humphrey fabric for moody timeless appeal

There are 2 "styles" of pillows which you will see in the photos. One has a "7" underneath the text and the other has an almost bird like symbol which is the their "brand"

This part sits on the couch so isn’t a hugely noticeable detail but it is the part that distinguishes the two styles.

Pattern placement varies slightly between each pillow as the printing of these sacks was never perfect and is truly an authentic piece you will love. The fabric is hardwearing and washable to keep it amazing for years to come. 

PILLOW COVER BASICS
