Our hand made cushion designs are inspired by the dialects of the North - ancient colloquial words that are still in use in Northumberland, Yorkshire, Cumbria and Scotland.  The hessian outer is printed in black with a dark blue ticking envelope back and the cushion inner is 16 "x 16", overfilled with UK duck feathers to retain a plump feel. Made in Northumberland.
