The front face is rendered in cotton velvet — a surface that reads both warm and alive, catching light differently depending on how the pile sits. Against the deep koi orange ground, the hand-illustrated leopards move with loose, painterly energy: spots in black and ochre, faces touched with an unexpected aqua. The reverse is solid velvet in the same ground color, offering a quieter face when the moment calls for it. A removable insert makes care straightforward.
