Bela - Hand Block Printed Linen Pillow Cover (Dark Green)

Bring freshness and charm to your space with the Bela pillow cover, featuring a graceful floral motif inspired by the fragrant bela (jasmine) flower. Hand block printed in deep green on natural linen, the repeating vertical stripes and floral accents create a balanced rhythm that’s both calming and refined. A versatile piece that layers effortlessly or stands beautifully on its own, Bela brings a touch of nature’s poetry into your home.

PROVENANCE

The bela flower—known for its intoxicating fragrance and delicate white blossoms—holds a special place in Indian homes, rituals, and gardens. Often strung into garlands or woven into hair, it symbolizes purity, and grace. The floral pattern on this pillow pays homage to the flower’s cultural and aesthetic significance, transforming its fleeting beauty into a timeless textile.

PROCESS

Each Bela cover is brought to life using the age-old craft of hand block printing, practiced by skilled artisans in India. Wooden blocks are hand-carved, dipped in dye, and carefully stamped onto the fabric—creating a print full of depth, soul, and subtle variations that make each piece truly one of a kind.
