Ruffle Cushion, Zero Waste, Red Check / Lilac

The Ruffle Edge Cushion is made from (twice!) deadstock cloth. Red check cotton with contrasting lilac ruffle edging, it comes with a feather cushion filler. Easy access opening at the back for washing (feather cushion to be removed!)

When making garments, occasionally we have some left over cloth. Whilst we aim to order only what we need, sometimes we end up with a little bit extra. At Saywood, we will make sure we use every last bit. This is our very own deadstock project.

The cushion is made to order. Please allow for 7-10 days before your order is shipped.

Size: 45 x 45cm

Composition: 100% Cotton

Made in London.

A note on our cotton

Our Ruffle Edge Cushion is made from deadstock cotton sourced from the Riopele mill in Portugal, which has an eco-friendly ethos, including water reduction and reuse, and waste reduction.

Wash less, love always

We recommend occasionally airing your cushion outdoors, rather than washing too often. This way, it will last longer and also have a lower environmental impact. Spot clean marks with warm soapy water, and when it does need a wash, follow our care advice:

• Machine wash 30 degrees (remove the feather filler)
• Wash with similar colours
• Medium iron
• Do not bleach
• Do not tumble dry

Saywood was founded in 2020 by Harriet Saywood-Bellisario. As she beautifully put it: "The stories behind what you wear create that feeling of true joy when you get dressed each day, filling you with the confidence to take on the world, with the conviction that your most loved wardrobe pieces contribute to a positive fashion future, instead of the global fashion crisis". We absolutely love that!

At the heart of Saywood's story is a desire to reconnect you with the people and processes behind what you wear, and in doing so, press pause on throwaway fashion. Saywood does this through storytelling and by creating timeless pieces that you can rediscover each time you wear and rewear them.

Eco-friendly: Saywood uses materials like deadstock cotton, recycled cotton, Japanese denim and Supima cotton. They produce in small batches and offer mending services. If, after years, you're done with your product, they collaborate with OWNI; a peer-to-peer resale platform.

Local & fair production: Saywood works with factories in the UK and Romania for manufacturing and the fabrics are from factories in Italy and Portugal. These factories are all audited by multiple organizations and certifications to ensure ethical working conditions. As the factory in Romania increased its minimum order quantity, Saywood will switch to another supplier for future collections.

Vegan: as Saywood uses Codelite buttons, which are made from a protein from milk, the brand is not completely vegan. However, except for these buttons they are! 

Good cause: Saywood has a Saywood for Good Initiative. At the end of each year, Saywood donates a percentage of its revenue to grassroots organisations aligned with their sustainability goals. These organizations are Labour Behind the Label (an NGO committed to better working conditions for garment workers), Trafino/Forever Lung (an organization protecting tropical forests) and Solar Sister (an organization investing in women's clean energy businesses in off-grid communities in Africa).
