On this large-format combed cotton<\/strong> piece, the Aya finish creates a linear textile frame that highlights the complete perimeter. Each pom-pom is individually crafted, worked by needle by our artisans, then evenly arranged along all four edges of the white fabric. This precise alignment establishes the timeless character<\/strong> of this historic collection conceived in 1997. <\/p>\n Each pom-pom is born from a needle and thread, sometimes around a small core of rolled newspaper – an ancestral Moroccan craft technique, similar to crochet, creating a dense pom-pom that holds its shape wash after wash. This work is done at home by a network of women coordinated by an intermediary; the finished pom-poms are then inspected and assembled at the Marrakech workshop. An Aya duvet cover requires approximately 400 pom-poms, sewn one by one on all four sides. <\/p>\n The history and secrets of our craftsmanship can be discovered in our Val\u00e9rie Barkowski House Journal<\/u> (valeriebarkowski.com\/fr\/blog\/), and particularly in the article “The manufacturing secrets of our AYA bed linen<\/a>“.<\/p>\n To care for this combed cotton<\/strong> duvet cover, use a 40\u00b0 machine cycle with mild detergent, in a protective mesh bag<\/strong> to preserve the raised texture of the pom-poms. The pom-pom thread is colorfast<\/strong>. Air drying remains the preferred method to respect the original structure of the fibers and pom-poms. Iron on the reverse side<\/strong> to preserve the raised texture of the pom-poms. Each pom-pom is individually sewn: if one comes loose, it can simply be sewn back on. <\/p>\n Important point: the Aya finish is incompatible with the use of a calender, as the pressure irreversibly flattens the balls. For linen intended for industrial laundry treatment (notably hotels), we recommend another finish from the collection. <\/p>\n Pair this duvet cover with the Aya Pillowcases<\/u><\/a> and the Aya Bed Sheet<\/u><\/a>. Access the complete collection via our Bed Linen E-shop<\/u>. <\/p>\n “<\/b>Our workshop configures the dimensions and shades of pom-poms in the Aya range to meet the requirements of prestigious residential projects. For any professional laundry project (hospitality), please verify compatibility with the Aya finish beforehand (see Care Instructions)”. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dress your bed in timeless refinement.
