Hari Handwoven Wool Pillow Cover
The Hari Pillow Cover shows how a single piece of fabric can outthink a thousand mass-produced throw pillows.
What It Is:
Hand-loomed in the highlands of Momostenango, Guatemala, this 12” x 20” pillow cover is made from 100% hand-spun wool. Which means it’s not just soft—it’s texturally honest. Each cover is woven on a traditional pedal loom, resulting in slight variations that function less like “imperfections” and more like narrative plot twists. It’s minimal, yes, but minimal in the way an unproduced demo tape is minimal: raw, direct, and better because it hasn’t been smoothed over for mass consumption.
Why You’ll Actually Use It:
Most pillows are things you throw on a couch and forget. The Hari Pillow Cover is something you remember. It’s tactile in a way that demands your hand linger longer than you meant it to. It makes your sofa—or bed, or chair—look curated without veering into “decorator staging a condo” territory. And when people ask about it (because they will), you get to casually drop “hand-spun wool from Guatemalan artisans,” which is a sentence that’s both accurate and quietly devastating in its superiority.

Impact:
This isn’t just a pillow cover—it’s an economy in miniature. Every purchase helps sustain traditional weaving practices while creating meaningful income for Guatemalan artisans. Instead of buying into a system that erases culture, you’re investing in one that insists culture should remain visible, tactile, and wildly inconvenient to mass-produce.
The Hari Pillow Cover isn’t decoration—it’s evidence that design can be personal, ethical, and maybe even a little subversive.
