About the Item

Title: Rare Vintage Jean Paul Gaultier French Scarf and Irish Linen Cushion Pillow Blue This gem is a one-of-a-kind custom made luxury cushion (pillow) from an exquisite vintage Jean Paul Gaultier fashion scarf in a striking geometrical pattern. The daring haute couture fashion designer, known as the ‘enfant terrible’ of French fashion, is most famed for his sculpted perfume bottle of the 90s, his signature sailor stripes and Madonna’s cone bra basque costume. In retro shades of rich red with hues of burgundy and maroon paired with a muted purple mauve and a brighter turquoise blue. On a soft cotton with a which feels divine to the touch. There’s a slight unevenness to the dye on some sections, that we do not consider damage, but signs of it’s age and history which add character to the overall piece. We cherish the old and find beauty in markings illustrating it’s former life. It is a very special find. Backed in new 100% pure Irish linen, the aristocrat of textiles and certified by the Irish Linen Guild, lined in a layer of natural bamboo wadding, filled with new plush duck feather insert and a concealed zip. The traditional oatmeal color linen is a combination of the unbleached raw colour of the natural flax plant on the weft intertwined with pristine white on the warp, resulting in a beautiful mottled melange effect. Would be a superb statement piece to one’s interior. Also see our other items listed here on 1stdibs which include a wide array and colourful rainbow of complimentary pieces. A contemporary cushion (pillow) constructed with antique elements by using fragments of precious fabric. Handcrafted in Ireland By designer-maker Katie Larmour Katie Larmour Studio is the original vintage scarf pillow maker. First selling here on 1stdibs in 2016, our creations are of the absolute top most quality and finesse. Thank-you for looking. This cushion is a one-of-a-kind and part of a sustainability project.

Luxury Vintage Irish Linen Pillow by Katie Larmour Couture Cushions Blue Stripe
Located in Belfast, Northern Ireland
Luxury pillow created from exquisite and rare vintage Irish Linen by Irish designer Katie Larmour. Made from quality vintage, pure, 100% Irish Linen made from the flax plant, from an unused roll. Highly textured, grainy and sumptuous to touch. Each cushion is handmade in Ireland. Lined in organic cotton, and finished with a concealed zip. Recommended 20x20" feather filler insert for plumpness. Backed in new natural undyed Irish linen on the reverse. Irish Linen is highly regarded worldwide, known since the turn-of-the-century as ‘white gold’ and the ultimate ‘aristocrat of textiles’. Katie Larmour is an associate member of The Irish Linen Guild and highlighted as a ‘recommended purveyor of Irish Linen goods’ by the guild on their official website. Katie is an ambassador The European Confederation of Flax and Hemp (CELC). Katie Larmour’s Studio are renowned for their high end creations. In beautiful faded tones of soft blue and navy, reminiscent of traditional French textiles. Both the hue and striped pattern make this a wonderfully versatile piece, working particularly well with beach house, yachts, sailboat, nautical decor, rustic, country manor house, bohemian and ‘shabby-chic’ interiors. More than one is available. There may be a lead making time of approx 1-2 weeks (often a small amount of stock is made and ready for immediate shipping) Please note the nature of linen is that the surface may contain ‘slubs’, this is to do with the weaving process. They are not seen as flaws and add to the textile’s character and charm, it is the nature of the natural fabric and we ask you to take this into consideration before ordering. We have a large collection of unique cushions listed here on 1stdibs, from one-of-a-kind vintage designer silk scarf...
