Vintage Balenciaga Silk Fabric and Irish Linen Cushions Pillows Maroon

About the Item

Vintage Balenciaga silk scarf and Irish linen cushions pillows maroon Each cushion is a one-of-a-kind and part of a sustainability project. It has been created from an up-cycled, recycled luxury fabric, used with the intentions of promoting a more eco-friendly environment by using already existing materials. We both celebrate and cherish the past and take care with rare and precious vintage and antique materials. Through layers of carefully added backing the delicate fabric has been fortified for longevity and thus preserved. (The original designer/brand has been fully credited below) Description: Large custom made pair of cushion created from an exquisite vintage silk Balenciaga fashion scarf in earthy autumnal shades. Softly textured earth brown ground with chalk like markings sketched horizontally with energy, marking a superb pattern. Balenciaga is a French fashion house founded by Spainish designer Cristóbal Balenciaga, referred to as "the master of us all" by Christian Dior, and who's current Creative Director is Alexander Wang. Jackie Kennedy famously upset John F. Kennedy for buying Balenciaga's expensive creations while he was President because he feared that the American public might think the purchases too lavish. Today the brand is most famous for the popular 'Lariat' bag. The two similar cushions in the same fabric are almost identical, one with and one without the original ‘Balenciaga’ signature name. This feature adds an elegant touch of prestige. The sophisticated duo are fabulous as a pair and would compliment even the most contemporary of interiors. Backed in new pure luxury Irish linen, filled with new duck and down feather insert and a concealed zip. Handmade in Ireland By designer-maker Katie Larmour Color: Wine, maroon, brown, red, beige, clay, grey, gray, cream and soft black.

  • Vintage Hermes Equestrian Silk Scarf and Irish Linen Cushion Pillow
    By Hermès
    Located in Belfast, Northern Ireland
    Katie Larmour Studio is the original vintage scarf pillow maker. Gaining notability for her unique idea and creations back in 2013 - featured in the likes of the Financial Times, and first selling here on 1stdibs in 2016 - our creations are of the absolute top most quality, craftsmanship and finesse. Thank-you for looking. Title: Vintage Hermes Equestrian Silk Scarf and Irish Linen Cushion Pillow The ‘crème de la crème’ of scarves, this beauty is a one-of-a-kind luxury cushion (pillow) created from an exquisite vintage silk Hermes fashion scarf in their festive ‘Les Rubans Du Cheval’ equestrian pattern by Joachim Metz in 1988. A variety of elaborate ribbon rosettes in vibrant, colourful hues - an ornament made of pleated material, gathered so as to resemble a rose and worn as a decorative badge to show ranking in a competition. The French company began in 1837 producing superior quality leather goods, harnesses and saddles, which makes sense that 100 years later the main theme on their luxury scarves is equestrian. Hermes scarves, known as ‘carre’ (squares), have become a symbol of French chic and are a highly desirable object across the globe that still continues to delight. Favoured by the ‘jet-setters’ of the 50s and 60s and gaining iconic status by Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly and this particular elegant design even worn by Queen Elizabeth II. The name of the print along with the brand’s signature proudly features in the centre. The attractive equestrian design is a delicately detailed illustration of bridal equipment with buckles, leather straps, feminine mermaids holding up functional hoops and lions holding crests on other sections of the metal hardware adorning the elaborate piece. It features a display of two equestrian horse bride dressings symmetrical like a mirror image of each other. In a dramatic, busy picture of multicoloured ribbon colour way on a quality sumptuous twill silk with a beautiful texture. It was made using the ‘Lyonnaise technique’ silk screen process with each of it’s 13 frames traditional laid one by one by hand (the more complex patterns can go out to 42). Before being carefully unravelled to create our cushion, the edge was delicately hand rolled and hemmed, a distinctive French style finish of all Hermes scarves. We also have a couple of other similar stunning Hermes scarf cushions...
