Tuta is the Quechua word the night! The Tuta frazada wool pillow makes a great gift for someone into casually saving the planet while making their home look great.

The Tuta wool throw pillow checks all the boxes:

  • carefully woven by hand by a real, live person;
  • made of only natural materials – no toxic chemicals polluting you or the environment;
  • exploitation-free – artisans work at home, on their own schedule, and earn what THEY decide is fair for their work;
  • empowering – women-run artisan associations provide opportunities for leadership and economic independence;
  • culture-promoting – the Upis pillow is woven on a traditional backstrap loom, keeping that cultural tradition alive.

What more can you ask from a throw pillow?

Oh – this decorative pillow is also pretty awesome to look at and touch, with its chunky, textured wool fabric and dip-dyeing technique that creates a beautiful degraded of each color.
