These intricately designed bed covers come in a range of patterns, colours and sizes.

The textiles sold by Country & Eastern are handmade by traditional craft communities in India using skills and techniques like hand spinning, hand weaving, blockprinting and dyeing that have been practiced for many years. The craft process results in irregularities in pattern and colour which makes each piece unique, and most people see this as part of the character and individuality of the textiles.
