These silk cushions are woven in Inle Lake in Myanmar using the “ikat” process.
Ikat is a dyeing and weaving process in which the design is created by first dyeing the yarn in all the colours that will appear in it, at very precise intervals, so that at the time of weaving the elements of the design are created by the juxtaposition of the parts of the yarn of the appropriate colour. When dyeing the yarn, the parts that are to be preserved from a certain dye colour are hidden by a thread that is tied to the weft thread. The yarn is then dipped in the dye. The process is repeated for the other shades.
By extension, the word also designates the resulting fabric. A weaver works for several weeks or months on a piece of fabric.
Each fabric is a unique piece that the YounSone sewing workshop carefully selects. These cushions come in several sizes, which harmonize with each other with the variations of the patterns.

Aujourd'hui les femmes ont besoin d'être accompagnées pour structurer leur activité, monter en compétences, trouver des débouchés et gagner en confiance.
Nous nous engageons à libérer leur potentiel à travers une autonomie globale.
Notre mission est simple ! Nous leur offrons non seulement une stabilité financière, mais également les outils nécessaires pour réaliser leurs aspirations personnelles et professionnelles.
