The seasons are changing and it is time to give the home decor a touch of colors. So, I decided to grab some colorful cushion covers from this website iTokri. You must remember it as I reviewed this website for its handloom and fashion products last year. Now, it is time for home decor items. I do not like to add bulky pieces or too jazzy colors to my home decor. The shades should be calming and fresh to make the room look composed as well as relaxing. And when it helps in promoting Indian arts and crafts, all the better.
iTokri is a website that was created with the idea of giving a platform to all the big and small artisans in India. You can find crafts, handloom, and products from different parts of the country in one place here. From the woodworks of Kashmir to the silks from Assam and Southern states. All this at a decent price!
Cute and sustainable eco-friendly packaging
What I like most about this website is the eco-friendly sustainable packaging. They use old pages to make boxes out of them and wrap the products with newspaper. So the entire packaging is 100% recyclable. You can also use the same box to gift someone.
A handwritten note for a personal touch!
Every package, no matter how big or small it is, has a handwritten note in it, written on handmade paper. This is indeed a sweet gesture.
Gift with every purchase - Big or Small...
Who doesn't love getting gifts with things they buy? iTokri adds a small craft-related gift in every package no matter how big or small your purchase is. I so far got handmade earrings, cotton masks, and this cute jute doll thing.
It now has a place in my garden.
Cost
Rs. 250 for a single piece
Shipping is Rs. 50 under Rs. 500 and above that it is free.
Also, you get a cute gift with each purchase. I got a set of earrings with my first purchase, with the second a jute doll, and with the third a cute handmade face mask.

Yellow Applique Cut Work Cotton Cushion Cover (16 x 16 in)
Quality of the product - Is it satisfactory or not?
All of these cushions are in a pastel shade. Fabric is sheer soft cotton with applique cutwork all over. The quality of the fabric is decent but make sure to wash it with hands using a gentle detergent. Otherwise, it might lose its sheen. The cotton fabric is very fine and soft, so it needs extra care. You can use liquid starch after washing it. It adds strength to the fabric.
Although it is nice, I think the quality could have been a bit better. I paid 1000 bucks for all 4 and the quality is not that great. I also haven't washed them yet, but I think they will lose some color. Since it is handmade, all these issues will be there. So, make sure to be extra careful in washing them.
I hope you liked my review of home decor products by iTokri. Do share your comments and suggestions.
Lots of Love!!!
