Our Vintage Strawberries throw pillow is hooked in wool. Hooked wool gives it real texture and weight rather than the flat face of a print.
Sits well on a sofa, a bed, or a reading chair. Set it against smooth linen or velvet and the texture contrast does the styling work for you.
Red strawberries and white blossoms spread over a deep teal ground. Leaves are worked in sage and olive, and a small bee hovers near the bottom. Red piping picks out the edge of the face. The dark ground is what makes it, since most strawberry pillows go pale.

Wool pulled loop by loop through a backing, the way hooked rugs have been made for two centuries, is what gives this piece its depth and its weight in the hand. Wool takes years of handling and comes back looking like itself, which is why these get passed down rather than replaced. A thoughtful gift for a housewarming, a decorator friend, or a first apartment, and a good reason to keep one yourself.
