Zahwe Hamdmade Grey Outdoor Pillow

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester and olefin shrug off full sun without bleaching the charcoal color, while water-repellent fibers shed rain to prevent mildew between uses. The D.V. Kap Zahwe Handmade Grey Outdoor Pillow in charcoal is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Hand-cut and sewn in California, each pillow pairs a hidden zipper with a removable cover and insert for straightforward cleaning when patio season ends.

Will This Fabric Fade in Direct Sun?

No -- the 81% UV-resistant polyester and 19% olefin blend holds its charcoal tone through years of full-sun exposure. Solution-dyed synthetic fibers resist bleaching far longer than untreated cotton or linen, so the pillow won't turn gray-white by mid-summer. You'll see the same depth of color on the patio in year three as you did at unboxing.

Can It Get Rained On Without Ruining the Fill?

Yes -- water-resistant poly-olefin fabric sheds rain instead of soaking it in, and the quick-dry insert resists moisture absorption that leads to mildew. Light to moderate downpours won't harm the pillow, though bringing it under cover during heavy storms extends its lifespan. The removable cover unzips easily if you want to air-dry the insert after a particularly wet day.

How Do You Store It Over Winter?

Unzip the hidden zipper, pull the cover off, and machine wash it on gentle if needed; air dry fully before reassembling. Store both cover and insert in a dry indoor space -- a garage shelf, basement bin, or hallway closet works fine. UV resistance protects against fade during the season, but taking pillows inside when you're not using the patio keeps them looking new for more years.

Where Does Charcoal Grey Work Best on a Patio?

Charcoal anchors neutral schemes on sectionals, lounge chairs, or porch swings without clashing with wood, metal, or wicker frames. Layer the 22-inch square with a 12 x 24-inch lumbar on outdoor accent chairs for lower-back support, or pair multiples across a deep sofa alongside lighter outdoor pillows for contrast. The dual-sided fabric keeps the look uniform from any angle, and the handmade construction holds up in sunrooms or covered porches where you want outdoor accessories that read as intentional, not leftover.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this pillow stay outside all summer in full sun?

Yes -- UV-resistant poly and olefin maintain color through continuous sun exposure, and the water-resistant fabric sheds afternoon thunderstorms without mildewing.

Will it fade if left on a patio in direct sunlight?

No -- solution-dyed fibers resist bleaching far longer than untreated fabrics, so you'll see years of vibrant charcoal before any noticeable lightening.

Is the cover machine washable?

Yes -- unzip and remove the cover, then machine wash on gentle cycle and air dry fully before putting it back on the insert.

How do I clean it after a season of outdoor use?

Spot clean with mild soap and water, or remove the cover via the hidden zipper and wash it separately; the insert air-dries quickly if it gets damp.

What's the difference between square and lumbar sizes?

The 22 x 22-inch square works as a corner anchor on sofas or solo on chairs; the 12 x 24-inch lumbar provides lower-back support and fits behind you on deeper seating.

Does it come fully assembled or do I need to insert the fill myself?

It ships with cover and insert together -- no assembly required -- and free standard curbside delivery to the continental USA.
