I just received these and put one on a sofa throw pillow right away. It is just as shown in the photo. Colors are true and vibrant. The pillow slipped in the cover easily and there are two buttons on the solid linen color back holding it closed nicely. The fabric is soft but sturdy and definitely not flimsy. Nice piping around the edge with the solid fabric.
Label says dry clean or hand wash, and I think cold water would do well.
I'm very pleased with these covers and would buy again. I love to help out these third world artisans.
