Shiv Textiles launches a new sustainable lobster cushion collection

Shiv Textiles, a brand on a mission to eliminate the throwaway culture in interiors, launched a new collection. Dive into the coastal charm of their Woven Lobster Cushions, where every thread tells a tale of sustainable luxury. Each exquisite cushion is more than just a home accessory; it’s a work of art, a conversation starter, and a testament to our commitment to eco-conscious design.

Intricate Woven Details:

Each cushion features an intricate lobster design carefully woven into the fabric. The lobster’s vibrant colours and delicate details make it a captivating centrepiece for your living space.

Sustainable Craftsmanship:

The brand believes in weaving a better world. That’s why their Lobster Cushion is crafted from rescued and repurposed materials, reducing textile waste and minimising our environmental footprint. Everything is woven, sewn and finished in Brighton, UK.

Soft and Luxurious:

The front of the cushion showcases the lobster’s elegance, while the back features plush, soft fabric for ultimate comfort. It’s the perfect combination of style and cosiness.

Versatile Home Decor:

Whether it graces your sofa, adorns your bed or finds a spot in your reading nook, the Lobster Cushion collection brings coastal elegance to any room in your home.

About Shiv Textiles

On a mission to throw away the throwaway culture, Shiv Textiles is already making a dent in the textile industry. Since 2021 Shiv Textiles has rescued 1073KG of industrial textile waste!

They work with mills and factories across the UK, rescuing their deadstock materials – from yarn, zips, selvedges, to buttons and more – and handcrafting it into fine homeware and accessories as well as sustainable weaving kits. By putting a modern spin on a traditional craft, its founder, Siobhan Martin, wants to show that it’s possible for us to enjoy pieces we all cherish while minimising the impact on the planet too.

Shiv Textiles was born in Siobhan’s bedroom in 2017. As an intern for big-name brands in the textiles and fashion industry, she was shocked by the amount of perfectly good materials going to waste. There had to be a better way to rescue and reuse some of that waste. In her eyes, fast fashion needs to take its foot off the pedal.

So she began contacting mills and factories, buying their yarns, zips, threads, buttons – all destined for landfill – by the kilogram. It’s from this otherwise throwaway waste that all Shiv Textiles’ cushions, scarves and weaving kits are created.
