Modern Designer Pillows

**Announcement**

Ouno Design will be producing very few vintage textile pillows in 2010, because we will be concentrating on our new line of sutainable leather bags and continuing with our bedding and blankets and other specialty items. We will continue producing pillows made from collectible vintage silk scarves, and a small line of floor pillows. The 2009 holiday shopping season is your final chance to pick up the last of our pillow lines, both the vintage textile pillows and the pillows made from vintage fur coats.

Modern pillows by Ouno Design

Mix it up! Eclectic contrasts have always been the essence of interior design, especially with accessories.

A note about our prices: This site is in Canadian dollars; price in USD is always less. However the exchange rate to USD changes often, so work out the exchange to your own currency by clicking here.

Another note on prices: Not all pillows are created equal. Our prices reflect the excellent quality of our collectible vintage textiles, the labour involved in searching them out and resuscitating them, the fact that our pillows are the same fabric front and back (this is unusual for pillows, which generally use cheap secondary backings), and the high quality and longevity of our craftsmanship, our threads, zippers and filings. All our pillows are made from vintage or salvaged textiles, or occasionally from new organic, sustainably-produced fabrics (organic cotton or bamboo). They are meant to last and become heirlooms.

Many items do not come in multiples - please ask about availability before ordering multiples unless quantities are made clear. Note that square pillowcases, especially 20", may actually be very slightly smaller; we do this to ensure that pillows look and remain well-stuffed when re-filled with standard-size replacement inserts. If you would like to order without the inserts, our prices will be reduced by $10-$20 and shipping will be much cheaper. Square inserts are easy to find; rectangular are not. Please inquire.

We use clean feather filling, not foam, unless requested otherwise. We also offer organic bamboo filling for an extra surcharge of $20. We have experimented with new natural fillings such as kapok, bamboo and natural latex, but we currently feel that not only are these materials still very expensive, they also do not perform nearly well enough - they are hard, lumpy, very heavy or feel like bad foam or those old-fashioned rag fillings. These are well-known issues in the sustainable textiles industry. We are eagerly waiting for the second generation of sustainable fillings to solve some of the problems of the first. Please ask us if you prefer bamboo or a combination of bamboo and feather or foam.

Our return policy is excellent. If it doesn't work, send it back to us for full refund, minus the cost of return shipping. Refunds are issued upon our receipt of items.

Prices and Shipping

Oblong pillows are more expensive because they're non-standard, and custom pillow inserts cost us more.

If you need your shipment fast, contact us about rush shipping charges.

All our pillows have the same fabric both sides unless noted. Many of the vintage scarf pillows shown above have a different collectible scarf on the reverse.

All of our pillows can either be purchased via PayPal (buttons below) or credit card:

Modern Italian toile

Toile Pillows, fabric made in Italy - from a high-end upholsteror/draper's fancy samples
Convert currency
$80
SOLD OUT

Unusual authentic Italian toile, new but in an interesting version of old toile pictorial subject matter. These are slightly different toiles on the reverse, so you get 2 pillows in one - they're different enough that the effect changes. 20" squares and 12x25" oblongs. Traditionally toile often came with piping, but we're not fans of piping - these are a more modern and less fussy version of the traditional toile. This is upholstery grade fabric, so it will wear extremely well, without fuzzing or pilling, and is machine washable and stain resistant.
