Pillow Resource for Online Boutique
I've been searching like a mad woman for unique resources to sell in my upcoming online retail boutique, Modern Chic Home, and stumbled across a fabulous resource for pillows! The pillows range from sizes 16"x 16" to 20"x 20." They're made from linen or cotton and wool, depending on the style, and are either embroidered or needlepoint. The prices range from about $40 to $75 per pillow and these are just a few of the many styles they offer. In addition to the decorative pillow collection is the Trina Turk Residential collection (shown in first 2 photos), which I'm in love with! Prices range from $75 to $120. Most of the patterns are available in multiple colors. I put together some of my favorites and wanted to ask which ones you like best (or least)! Please be honest - I'm relying on your feedback to help with the selection of merchandise for the launch (scheduled for early August). Thank you for your input - I always appreciate every one of your comments :)
julie, thanks for the kind words you left on my post about my shop...i truly appreciated every word! i am in love with your idea for your own retail boutique. i am being honest that i could easily purchase one pillow from every grouping you have listed. i especially am drawn to the & sign on the pillow in the last photo, the crowns in black and white, and those natural scenes of the bird, the owl and the sealife. but truly they are all great picks :)
ReplyDeleteI love the crown cushion!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the crown pillow group too and the group of 4 just below the crown group! Take care, Caroline
ReplyDeleteLOVE the second to last grouping.
ReplyDeleteI love the black and white prints in group 4 and I love love group 5!
ReplyDeletethe @ pillow is a hoot !
ReplyDeletelove, love them all! but the & and owl are my favorites!
ReplyDeleteTruly, I adore them all. I am a huge Trina Turk fan but also love the third grouping. Can't go wrong with any of these. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love every single one of them!
ReplyDeletethanks for all of the positive feedback ladies! i really appreciate it :)
ReplyDeleteI love the second to last grouping! beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great assortment! I'm loving the black and white prints and the giraffe print. Also, I can't tell if they are, but the animals and symbols look like needlepoint -- it's nice having different fabrics and textures!
ReplyDeleteI'm really into black and white, so naturally all the black and white pillows I'm leaning towards. I do also love that bamboo and the coral. Those are lovely. I don't care for those felt (?) pillows at all. You have an interesting selection so far. I think as a boutique owner, you're going to have to keep your nose to the ground about what's "popular", but also go buy what you and your blogger friends would buy. It seems like you're off to a good start.
ReplyDeletemy favourites are:
ReplyDeleteTrina Trunk Residential: red and orange geometric (bottom left); next group octopus (REALLY want this one!) and choral and from the last group all except bottom left. Please please please include international postage!
The graphic black and white one's really jump out at me. I love the needlepoint versions with the coral, bird and octopus are neat. I'm not as crazy about the Trina Turk collection but I can't really articulate why...
ReplyDeleteI have been searching for great pillows I love the crown group , however I would like to see pops of pink , Chocolate brown and some more vibrant tones . I did not care much for some of the others I love the symbol pillows would like to see some with words printed on them like love, happy, peace ! thanks for reading I look forward to your retail shop !Lisa
ReplyDeletewonderful designs!!
ReplyDeletewow! i can't decide which ones i like best! They are all so fabulous.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I are looking into buying our first home once we move back to the US in August. These pillows are fantastic and would be a welcome addition to our home.
ReplyDeleteThey're all beautiful! I love them all especially the crown pillows :)
