Elevate your space with vibrant color and cultural heritage. These decorative throw pillows feature an embroidered front panel made from a secondhand Guatemalan huipil—the traditional handwoven blouse worn by Mayan women—paired with a beautifully textured handwoven corte (a traditional Mayan skirt) on the back.

Each pillow tells a story of generations of skilled artisans and is sustainably crafted from repurposed vintage textiles. From the rich embroidery to the timeless backstrap-loomed weave, these handwoven pillows are full of history and heart.

Sewn by Afghan refugee women rebuilding their lives in North Carolina, these colorful accent pillows for couch or bed offer more than just style—they support meaningful work, cross-cultural connection, and sustainable design.

Whether you're looking for embroidered pillows, throw pillows for your sofa, or decorative pillows for your bed, these one-of-a-kind pieces make a bold and beautiful statement.
