Lucy Cotton Pillow Sham with Insert by Lenora

A hand-appliquéd bow and scalloped tape trim give Lenora’s Lucy pillow sham its sweet, tailored character. White cotton piqué provides a textured ground, with pink, blue or ivory accents.

The sham measures 17.5 × 13.5 inches and has an envelope closure. A 16 × 12-inch insert is included, filled with 95% white duck feathers and 5% white duck down, so the decorative cushion arrives with its filling clearly accounted for.

“A little appliqué is most charming when it is well placed. I like the balance of this bow against the white piqué, and the scalloped edge makes the whole piece feel carefully finished.”
-Mrs. Mayfair

Care & Ownership

Remove the insert before cleaning the sham and follow each piece’s sewn-in care label separately. Treat the cotton cover gently with cool water and mild detergent; protect the embroidery or appliqué from rubbing, reshape while damp and air-dry. Do not assume the feather/down insert has the same washing instructions as the cover. Air and fluff the insert regularly, keep it dry, and follow its own label for laundering.

Maker / Heritage

Claudia Garrard knew Dina Yang’s work first as a retailer, choosing her pieces for her own customers. A visit to Dina’s Fort Worth warehouse led to their partnership: Claudia brings the shopkeeper’s eye, while Dina oversees production in her Vietnamese sewing room. Dina established that workshop in 2001 with four sewing machines and two patternmakers. Their close collaboration gives Lenora its unusually personal connection between design and making.
