Pillow with Vintage French Women's Fashion Fabrics

designer :: Quintessentia

new item with vintage elements::

The pillow was created using 1950's vintage women's fashion fabric. One side has a 'lots of dots' motif and is a nubby purple, black and cream woven wool and the other side is a vintage wool boucle which was produced by Jacques Fath. These fabrics were sourced upon the closing of a women's dressmaker in Zurich which was active, mainly during the 50's and 60's, before the invention of 'pret-a-porter' and the well-dressed woman had her dresses and suits made locally.

Each Q Living pillow is designed by Quintessentia combining vintage and antique fabrics from different time periods and genres. We believe this is a wonderful way to integrate rare and unusual fabrics, aesthetically and artistically, into modern daily life and an opportunity to create something unique and special.

Each pillow is individually sewn in private workshops in Zurich, Switzerland using the best materials, including YKK zippers, handmade trims and design accents. The inserts are 100% down feather-filled, cotton-covered pillows expressly created for Quintessentia. As the pillows are made with vintage or antique fabrics, slight variations of color and pattern between pillows may occur.
