Vintage Prayer Bolster

We are very proud to offer you Lily Koi Saigon, a unique line of handmade and hand dyed textile collection of pillows, inspired by the vivid colors and fabrics of the indigenous hill tribe people of Vietnam. We are the only stockist of this collection in Europe, apart from Harrods in London. 

Lily Koi Saigon sources her materials from local craftsman in small villages in Northern Vietnam and all cushions are one of a kind. The vintage textiles are hand chosen for their beauty and emotional resonance. Our friend Jan, the designer and owner of Lily Koi Saigon, combines these finds with new textiles: hand dyed silk, velvet, cotton and linen. This gives her collection a sense of heritage.

This rare Vintage Prayer bolster collection is made from gorgeous prayer patches, which were originally worn over the shoulders of the 'Hmong Hill Tribe' people, tought to have protective powers to bring good spirits and maintain good health. 

The cushions are backed with hand-dyed silk velvet, have a zipper, allowing removal of the fill for easy cleaning. Please note that due to age of materials some patches will have minor defects - the designer sees this as a part of the story and charm of these beautiful textiles.
