There's a particular kind of magic in coming home on a warm summer evening, sinking into your couch, and feeling something soft and cool against your skin. That's exactly the feeling we set out to capture with our mulmul cotton block-printed cushion covers — a fresh, breezy collection that is 100% hand block-printed and made to give your couch, sofa, and favourite cozy corners a little summer makeover.
Each design is printed entirely by hand using traditional wooden blocks, so every cushion carries the small, beautiful imperfections that only real craft can give. Light, airy, and endlessly easy to live with — here's everything you'll love about them.
Why mulmul cotton is a summer dream
Mulmul (also spelled mul mul) is a finely woven, feather-light cotton that has been loved in Indian homes for generations — and once you feel it, you'll understand why. It's soft, breathable, and naturally cool to the touch, which makes it perfect for the months when everything else feels a little too warm and heavy.
Unlike thick, stiff upholstery fabric, mulmul lets air move through it. So when you lean back against one of these cushions on a sticky afternoon, you get softness without that sweaty, clingy feeling. It's the textile equivalent of a cool breeze through an open window.
100% block printed — every single one, by hand
This is the part we're quietly proud of. Every cover in this collection is 100% hand block-printed — not machine-printed or digitally stamped. Skilled artisans carve the design into wooden blocks, dip them in dye, and press them onto the fabric one careful impression at a time.
What does that mean for you? Gently uneven edges, soft variations in colour, and the warmth of something shaped by human hands rather than a factory roller. No two cushions are ever exactly alike — and that's the whole point.
Made for your couch, your sofa, and your coziest corners
These covers come as a set of two, which makes styling effortless — pair them, mix them, or scatter them across a reading nook. They're sized to dress up a couch, soften a sofa, or turn a quiet corner with a chair and a throw into your favourite spot in the house.
Layer two matching covers for a calm, put-together look, or mix two different prints for something more playful and collected-over-time.

How to style them this summer
- Keep it tonal: Pick prints from one colour family — like Powder Blue and Petal Blue — for a soft, restful couch.
- Mix a little: Pair a floral (Garden or Sage Floral) with a leafy print (Leaf or Palm Tree) for a garden-fresh feel.
- Add a pop: Lime and Apricot bring sunny energy to a neutral sofa.
- Layer textures: Combine these light mulmul cushions with a quilted throw or dohar for an easy, lived-in look.
Easy to love, easy to care for
Because these are hand block-printed mulmul cotton, a little gentleness goes a long way:
- Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle, cold cycle.
- Use a mild detergent and skip harsh bleach to keep the colours rich.
- Dry in the shade rather than harsh direct sun to protect the natural dyes.
- A light iron on the reverse keeps them looking crisp.
Treated kindly, they'll stay soft and beautiful season after season.
Give your space a summer refresh
Sometimes the smallest change makes the biggest difference. A couple of soft, breezy, hand block-printed cushions can take a tired-looking couch and make it feel brand new — calm, cool, and ready for summer.
