This beautiful bedspread graces my king bed in my condo in Costa Rica - it brings in the vibrant spring green from the lush terrain outside my windows! The workmanship is truly excellent. The ivory stripes part of the spread are a complex woven column design in warm ivory and soft grey with ivory cross-stitch bands, and go beautifully with the soft gray of my walls. A very subtle green on green stripe is woven into the green field of the coverlet.The fringe is hand tied on both sides and the bottom edge of the cover. The weight of the fabric is quite substantial - it feels like a very heavy and textured linen weave and has an excellent hand for a coverlet, so it does lie smoothly on the bed. Simply lovely and a worthwhile investment! I added blue and green batik style cotton pillows, but I do wish there were shams to go with this! Beautiful work!!

I really like these cases. The workmanship is excellent and the design is so typical of Mayan culture. They are not cheap, but well worth spending a little more for something beautiful and hand loomed.

This pillow cover is fabulous! I love it so much I bought another in a different color, and I m considering a third! The weaving is so beautifully and skillfully done. Looking at it on my couch makes me happy!
