Ottoline Hand-Embroidered Linen Cushion by Ottoline de Vries
Bursting with colour and playful charm, this beautifully embroidered cushion brings Ottoline de Vries' distinctive approach to pattern and design to the exclusive Curated by Cath Kidston collection.
Inspired by traditional folk art, Ottoline's whimsical floral design combines bold, contrasting colours with stylised flowers and leaves. Deliberately simple in its original form, the pattern takes on wonderful texture and depth through intricate hand embroidery, bringing the vibrant design to life.
“It's so transformative! The stitchers have truly elevated my design.” - Ottoline de Vries
Each cushion is meticulously hand-stitched by Fine Cell Work stitchers in prison, providing purposeful, paid work that helps build confidence, develop valuable skills and create opportunities for the future.
A colourful and uplifting addition to any interior, designed to bring what Ottoline describes as “a spark of joy” into the home.

“Stitching allows me to use a totally different part of my brain and personality. I can move away from the more difficult reflections and anxieties and feel creative and purposeful. This means I no longer feel that my life has come to a halt and that I am of no use to anyone else.”- Tom, FCW Stitcher -
