ELIF Vintage Kelim Pillow 60x40cm
They come from a different era – from hands that knew how to transform wool into stories.
Each of our kilim pillows is a preserved fragment of a vintage rug, woven from hand-spun sheep's wool and carrying decades of Anatolian history.
Beyza Nur Özler personally selects each fragment – with the eye of an archivist and the love of a collector.
We do not cut up intact kilims.
We rescue fragments that would otherwise be lost – rare, precious, full of symbolism.
Gently cleaned, carefully processed, and finished with a cotton backing and zipper.
The matching recycled down pillow insert is available separately.
A warm, subtle accent for your sofa, bed, or armchair – earthy, timeless, and rich in heritage.
A small piece of lived Anatolian history – carried forward by Wild Heart Free Soul.

The traditional and timeless patterns of Anatolia make each vintage kilim cushion something very special. They are the meaningful symbols of a thousand-year-old nomadic tradition, intended to bestow love, blessings, and protection upon the home and its inhabitants.
High-quality materials such as hand-spun sheep's wool, goat hair, or cotton ensure a durable, high-quality product.
This cushion cover was lovingly sewn in our Wild Heart Free Soul Atelier in Istanbul from a fragment of a hand-woven vintage kilim. The kilim was carefully cleaned before further processing. Age-related traces and natural irregularities are part of its history and make each piece unique.
The back is made of recycled cotton and features a zipper.
Anatolian kilims are much more than utilitarian textiles – they are woven memories, personal messages, and an expression of lived culture. For generations, women wove their wishes, hopes, and protective symbols into the fabric – freely, intuitively, and full of symbolic power.
The kilim from which this cushion was made also originated in an Anatolian home – from the wool of their own sheep, hand-spun and dyed in hues that reflect Anatolia's nature. Many of these pieces date from the 1960s and 1970s, when tradition and modernity met in a play of colors.
In our atelier, these woven treasures are treated with the utmost respect – cleaned with olive soap, dried in the sun, and transformed with time and dedication into new companions.
A kilim from Wild Heart Free Soul is not a product. It is a legacy. A woven wish – and perhaps a silent companion for your home of tomorrow.
A kilim cushion is a durable companion – if treated with care, it will remain beautiful for many years. Regular gentle vacuuming with a brush attachment or light beating removes dust and preserves the structure. Please do not use a rotating vacuum cleaner.
Dab fresh stains immediately with a clean, dry cloth. If necessary, a little olive soap can be used with a slightly damp cloth – without rubbing, without soaking through. This keeps the wool elastic and vibrant.
For thorough cleaning, we recommend professional hand washing every few years. We work with experienced oriental rug specialists and are happy to share our recommendations with you.
