Raw Luxe Collection

The Raw Luxe Collection focuses on creating contemporary accessories to enhance atmospheric interiors that exude a faded grandeur with a twist of casual chic.   The Collection celebrates the tactile and sensuous qualities of old fabrics with their natural imperfections and worn narratives. We source antique and vintage textiles that capture a palpable sense of history in their weave and drape, then mix them to create new interfaces for interior accessories.

All the creations in the Raw Luxe Collection are one-offs, we may be able to find and make something similar that happily partners another, but none will be exactly the same.

We are passionate about harnessing traditional British trade and craft skills to make our exclusive designs, so expect: well made creations with a strong attention to detail. All our cushions are made in Norfolk by professional seamstresses.

Please note that the colours on our products are reproduced here as accurately as possible, however, as with all photography, printing and online screens, there may be some small variations.

Utopia charges a flat rate of £10 for all deliveries in the UK mainland. If purchasing from outside the UK please contact us for a shipping quote.

Care for your Cushion 

Old textiles require careful laundering to maintain their beauty and attractive handle.

1. Wash your item by hand using warm water and soap flakes.

2. Rinse well in warm water and dry flat.

3. Iron on reverse if necessary.
