Marvelous Hermes Pillow in hand-spun and hand-woven Tibetan yak!
It all begins with an immense cloud of Mongolian yak wool. Under their thick and coarse hair, yaks have a soft down, khullu, that they shed in the spring time. This downy fiber catches onto the bushes of the Tibetan plateau and is then harvested by hand. Rare and noble, this precious down was, for centuries, reserved exclusively for emperors of the Forbidden City. In Nepal, expert hands would go on to craft it into blankets with a full and soft feel, featuring unique colors. Every step of this metamorphosis is carried out by hand, from the skein border to the flatlock stitching. Spun and woven on traditional looms with meshing needles, the fabric is given as many dye baths as the chosen motif requires. The colors stream out, forming a subtle halo, mixing when they interact, creating new hues. Finally, each piece features an H in reverse.
- 100% Tibetan yak cover
- Polyester filling

The pillow is first immersed in a dye bath, each edge of it is then soaked in a different colored dye for the pigments to infuse the pillow progressively
The "H" detail is created by applying a wooden H, carved by hand and affixed to the pillow before it is soaked in the dye baths to avoid infusing the material
