John Lewis Matka Silk Stripe Rectangular Cushion, Natural
Out of Stock
Price History
Description
Woven from authentic Matka silk, with a linen back and cotton lining, this stripe cushion is both attractive and hardwearing. Matka silk is made from very thick yarn spun from broken waste or leftover fibres from a hatched cocoon, so silkworms don't have to be killed to produce it.
Our Stylist Says
I love this cushion for its understated elegance and versatility. The stripe detail in Matka silk adds subtle texture and sheen, elevating it beyond a simple accessory. It works beautifully in both modern and traditional interiors, especially in neutral or earthy colour schemes, complementing natural fibres and wooden finishes. For styling tips, try pairing it with a textured throw or layering it with contrasting cushions in different fabrics to create a relaxed, curated look. Its natural tone also makes it a great choice for adding a touch of sophistication without overpowering other elements in the room.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
