Sheen star translated to Kashmiri means the snowy star, the perfect name for this bright and bold design. Our geometric crewel cushions are worked in Kashmir with a small hooked ari needle, building raised chain‑stitch patterns in wool over a 100% cotton base. The result is graphic and grounded—clean shapes softened by the tactility of hand embroidery—easy to layer with solids or stripes, on a sofa or the end of a bed.
Each piece is made at home by an artisan, often in the calm of the afternoon with a cup of salted noon chai nearby. That unhurried pace lives in the cloth; you can feel it in the weight of the stitch and the slight, human variations from cushion to cushion.
