At Honduras Threads, every product tells a story of collaboration and craftsmanship. The Chorus of Forms pillow features a unique design by highly regarded American artist Pat Colville, brought to life by Honduran artisan Esthela Matute. Esthela and the rest of the women of the Honduras Threads collective learned their advanced embroidery skills from American embroidery experts to master their craft and produce exceptional, intricate designs.
100% of every purchase goes directly back to the artisan's collective, where it’s reinvested into their community and continuing education. Their work does more than create beautiful pillows and table runners—it fosters dignity, self-respect, and opportunities for growth.
Since 2002, the women of the Honduras have made every home-good on our website possible. Using their business skills and artistic talents, they handcraft each unique product with care and precision.
