Each pom-pom cushion in the Salta collection is an individual creation and made from start to finish in a fair working environment by a small community in northern Argentina.
The techniques used to make our cushions in many steps are part of the Argentinian tradition. From combing and washing the wool, spinning, making the pom poms to weaving the cushions, each step is lovingly, time-consuming handwork. The round cushions are woven by weavers on a simple circular loom, while the square cushions are made by interweaving yarns in a cross pattern.
Each Salta cushion comes fully styled with a high quality vegan filling cushion.

Please note:
Our Salta cushions are woven from 100% natural virgin wool. Although we do our best to accurately represent natural colours, wool is a raw fibre so slight variations in colour gradient and shade are possible.
Good to know:
The sheep of the Argentinean highlands graze freely in their flocks on the vast, open pastures of the Pampas. The wool for our cushions is bought directly from the shepherd families at fair prices. Shearing of the sheep is done manually. Mulesing is never practised.
Cleaning:
Wash by hand with cold water and lay flat to dry. Do not iron. Alternatively, professional gentle dry cleaning is possible.
"We started with a very small group and now we are over 25 weavers. Behind every unique woven piece there is a person, a community and our culture that connect sustainable processes."
Florencia, Speaker and Organiser of the Weavers' Community
