ANORA
Handcrafted textiles from Central Asia & beyond.
Summer Time = Cushions which can be used outside for BBQs and for picnics 👣
"I’m Peruvian and these cushions give me a little touch of home in my London flat. I’ve had two gifted to me by my mum and recently purchased a third one myself and I couldn’t be happier with the quality of the textiles and the beautiful way in which everything has been stitched and finished off. Couldn’t recommend this shop enough to be honest."
Always the best to read reviews like this. 💙 🇵🇪
