Vintage French White Linen




Linen is an obsession with many and a mystery to the rest. Nothing reminds me more of a hot night in a mediterranean country than the soft, cool feel of linen and white linen is extra special. Linen improves with age. The more you use it, the softer it becomes, the more it displays it's elegant character.

The way linen draps itself in folds, wrinkled, creased yet somehow more fascinating than ever. It creates itself anew as it re-texturises into an extension of itself. Once experienced, you find you can't live without it.



The great joy of linen is it's flexibility and compatibility with other fabrics. Your summer sofa or garden seat is incomplete without the fresh, cool yet supple texture of vintage white linen. 




Choose from a unique selection of gorgeous cushion covers from plain white linen to designer and vintage fabrics combined with white line. 
We make everything to order in a selection of sizes and designs. Take a look at our made to measure section in cushion time at our website.

A canter through our cushion covers


















You really can't have too many cushions but you can have too many mass produced ones.

All our cushion covers at darty & pike are strictly limited edition only, most are hand-made from rare vintage fabric.

Here's a selection of some of the cushion covers that are currently available.

You can buy via our Ebay shop.

Or contact us direct at email: dartyandpike1@gmail.com and pay using paypal or personal cheque, please allow 7 days for cheque clearance and a further 7 days for delivery.





















Timeless Tweed. 

In rust, grey and black, we have available four cushion covers made from geninue Isle of Man tweed created in the 1970's for ladies tailored clothes.

The fabric is soft and supple, 100% wool, warm and gentle to the touch. Envelope enclosure with grey 25mm buttons.

Seen here on a very nice, slightly gothic leather covered dining room chair. Size is 17" x 17" to take an 18" x 18" cushion pad.
Price:  £22.99 + £3.50 p&p (pad not included).
















Gorgeous thick 100% wool fabric in restful pink, cream and chocolate brown check with envelope closure and pale brown 35mm wooden buttons.

Again this fabric is soft and warm, warm, warm especially if combined with our 100% wool filled pad.
Four available in 19" x 19" size to take a 20" pad.
Price £20.00 + £3.50 p&p (pad not included). That's a bargain price for such a large and luxurious cushion cover.

















This fabric was a real find. 

A 1940's French Vintage Chintz, the fabric is barkcloth. It's stunning up close with a wonderful rough texture.

A generous 19" x 19" with a top envelope enclosure with 30mm mother of pearl buttons.
Price £30 + £3.50 p&p (pad not included). £50 for 2 £4.50 p&p (pad not included).













Another wonderful vintage find this time from the 1950's.
