recycled pillow talk

pillows1

i know that i am supposed to be very into all things eco and recycling, but too often the stuff is just too dull, full of beiges and greys and just not fun enough.  so when i found these incredible pillows made by reiter8 at the brooklyn flea right before christmas i knew i had one of those rare double bonus — environmentally friendly and meets my design standards.   made from recycled sails, reiter8 produces a range of pillows in these bold primary colors and also has some totes with a similar look.  it seems in the past they have also made some other fun products like wallets and luggage tags.   these pictures don’t show how well crafted these are and how great they feel, but they are very lovely in person.  i had a really hard time not buying one and have decided to reward my restraint by getting one for s when he moves to a big boy bed sometime soon so that i can better cope with his new found freedom.
