About the Maker

Kyrgyzstan
When Kyrgyzstan became an independent country in 1991, most of the nation's talented artists fled to larger and more creative cities. But maker Gulnara Kydyrmyshova stayed behind and established a small retail store with the vision to revive Kyrgyz craftsmanship and help relieve her nation of poverty through the trade of handmade felted works. She started by conducting free sewing classes to unemployed women in her community. For over a decade, she has supported local artisans by selling felted handicrafts in her store.

Love the concept
But my item had some loose stitching and some cotton already being pulled through in a small area. Don't know how well it will hold up. I don't want to return it now as it's a Christmas gift and it's still super cute!

The pillow measures 15.75" L x 15.75" W x 3" H—perfect for most sofas, armchairs, and reading nooks. It's substantial enough to be comfortable but not so bulky that it takes over your favorite spot.

What colors are available and how do I care for this wool felt pillow?
The Pocket Pillow comes in two charming options: Blue Combo or Ivory Combo, both finished with decorative blanket stitch detailing. Since it's made from felted wool, it requires hand washing only to maintain its quality and shape.
Who makes this pillow and what's the story behind it?
This pillow is handmade in Kazakhstan by artisans working with Gulnara Kydyrmyshova, who has spent over a decade supporting local craftspeople and reviving traditional Kyrgyz felted works.
