- Characteristic texture: Adds a rustic and handmade touch, creating a beautiful contrast with modern furniture.
- Light insulation: Although not as breathable as cotton, it helps maintain the cushion's shape and reinforces support.

🔄 Practical tip: If you have a home with children or pets, remove the cotton cover and give it a quick wash. The front kilim stays protected and sparkling! 🐾👕
4. Natural dyes: vibrant colors without chemicals 🎨🌿
