Poufs

 

This is a new selection of poufs, first posted in the summer of 2004. They are in three main styles: natural beige leather with a tooled or embossed design in black and/or brown (sometimes with red and green added), a plain color with an embossed design in the same color - available in a much wider range of colors than I have had in the past, and a few poufs in one color with the same color embroidery. You can see them all below, and all close with a zipper on the bottom. You can fill them with something white and fluffy called "Polyfil" that you get at craft stores which is like pillow stuffing, but I've found it's also a great use for clean, recycled plastic bags. If you would like to order, email and let me know so I can check with my supplier in Morocco to be sure what you want is currently in stock. Poufs are shipped airmail and insured directly from Morocco, and take about 2-3 weeks to reach the U.S. Prices include shipping to the US. Email me on the To Order page to ask about prices to other countries; those in Europe are often less, since they are closer to Morocco.

 

 

 

Pouf 3.12697 has a geometric design in dark brown, and on the top there are camels in black. It measures 20" in diameter by 10" high (51 x 25.5 cm) and costs $90.

 

 

 

 

 

Pouf 3.12698 has sides tooled in a curvilinear design and the top in a more angular pattern. The main color is dark brown on beige, and on the top there are touches of red and green in the diamonds and in the center. The size is 20" x 10" ((51 x 25.5 cm) and the price is $90.

 

 

 

 

Pouf 3.12699 is a different shape from the two above, which are basically cylinders. This style is called "parachute" because the top is curved instead of flat. It has an overall tooled geometric design in dark brown on beige, and this is overlaid with different patterns. On the top there are palm trees with fronds in red and green, and on the sides there are diamonds with geometric designs in green and red. You can see the diamonds most clearly here, as well as the zipper on the bottom. In addition there are areas of solid color on the top, which also has embroidery, and in a curved pattern on the sides. In the photo these solid areas are a dark brown, and you can also order this pouf with the solid colors in orange, dark blue, green, red, and black. The diameter is 23" and the height 10" (58.5 x 25.5 cm) and the price is $105.

 

 

 

 

Pouf 3.12701 has sides tooled in dark brown on beige and a top tooled in red, green and brown on beige. There is a camel in black in the center, with a bit of the other colors.

It measures 19" x 11" and costs $95.

 

 

 

 

 

Pouf 3.12702 is all abstract designs, in brown on beige on the sides and the same on the top but with red, green and black accents added. You can see them best on the enlarged photo. The size is 19" x 11" ((48 x 28 cm) and the price is $95.

 

 

 

 

 

Pouf 3.12703 resembles the pouf above, but the top designs are somewhat different and it is all brown on beige except for a few black accents on the top. It measures 19" x 11" ((48 x 28 cm) and the price is $95.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poufs 3.12704-3.12710 below all come in two sizes, 15.5" x 12" (39 x 30.5 cm) and a lower, wider 18" x 10.5" (46 x 27 cm), and in a wide range of colors seen in this photo.

Pouf 3.12710 is the same design as 3.12707, but in a different color and size. It is available in the sizes and colors above and costs $95.

 

 

 

 

 

Pouf 3.12711 is another new style: it widens at the center, so the top diameter is 14" (36 cm) but in the center the diameter is 18" (46 cm), and the pouf is 15" (38 cm) high. The sides are tooled in a brown design with very little black, and the top has a geometric star surrounded by eight camels. The price is $95.

 

 

 

 

 

Pouf 3.12712 has the same shape and measurements as the one above, and indeed looks very similar except there are camels on the sides. My notes say there are fewer camels on the top, but I can't really tell from the photo. The price is $95.

 

 

 

 

 

Pouf 3.12713 also has the same shape and measurements as 3.12711 but a different design on the top. This has only one camel, in the center, surrounded by diamonds in two different designs. It costs $95.

The pieces are joined with elaborate stitching in an white/ivory color, like the pouf, and there is a starlike design embroidered in the center. It also comes in the colors at the bottom of this section, and the leather is goat, very strong and easy to clean with a damp cloth. The size is 17.5" (44.5cm) by 10.5" (26.5 cm) high and the price is $110.

 

 

 

 

Pouf 3.12717 is the same style and size as the one above, but this gives you an idea of another color, here a rich red-brown. The price is $110.

The three poufs above are available in white/ivory, dark blue, dark green, bright red, black, rich brown and a dark beige. Be sure to specify the color you want when you order.
