Lucy

On a plain, natural ecru canvas, Lucy is the leader of the embroiderers who stitched these cushion covers, embroidery done entirely by hand. She learned from her grandmother, her grandmother learned from her great-grandmother, and that is how this tradition stays alive. This cover is a tribute to the people, especially Lucy and her team, which in this case is her family, who keep this craft and tradition alive.

First collection signed by Boehme in collaboration with designer Sara Efia Reddin.

Made entirely by hand, each cushion cover carries small variations in size, colour, texture and scent. These irregularities are what make it a one-of-a-kind piece.
