OPIUM'S VINTAGE CUSHIONS
Opium's vintage cushions are all one-of-a-kind pieces designed with antique fabrics sourced from India, Pakistan and Afghanistan.

ANTIQUE INDIAN EMBROIDERY WITH VINTAGE FRENCH LINEN
On our trips to India, we search the markets and antique textile dealers to find vintage embroideries from the tribal areas of Gujarat and Rajasthan.  Exquisite embroideries embellished with mirrorwork, made for wedding dowries with the beautiful, faded colours of age.  For our cushion collection, we marry them with vintage French linen to create one-of-a-kind pieces - a work of art in a cushion.

MARRIAGE DOWRY CUSHIONS - SWAT VALLEY, PAKISTAN
Our stunning Swat Marriage Dowry Cushions are made from antique embroideries in floss silk sourced from the Swat Valley, Pakistan and are backed with hand-spun linens.

MARRIAGE DOWRY CUSHIONS - AFGHANISTAN
We also offer a collection of embroidered Vintage Cushions from Afghanistan, again made as part of a marriage dowry.

VINTAGE RABARI KANTHA STITCH CUSHIONS
Opium's collection of vintage kantha stitch rabari cushions from the tribal areas of Gujarat and Rajasthan beautifully compliment our Antique Indian Embroidery and French Linen collection.
