Personalized Christmas Throw Pillow, Navy Tartan Plaid Cotton with Red Piped Edge

A hand-designed Christmas throw pillow in OEKO-TEX® certified cotton blend, printed and sewn to order with your family's name set into a hand-drawn nameplate. The design is original artwork from my studio in Chicago a snowy fir tree tied with red ribbon bows, framed in navy, on a heritage plaid ground finished with contrast piping around all four edges. Made for families who want their holiday decorating to look like it belongs to them.

The piping is the part most people notice second.

Most printed pillows are knife-edge, the fabric just meets at the seam and that's the end of it. These are finished with a corded piped edge in a contrasting color, the way an upholsterer would finish a cushion. It gives the pillow structure, holds a crisp square corner, and keeps it from reading as a print-on-demand square. Look at the corner detail photo and you'll see what I mean.

Insert included. This is a complete pillow, not a cover you have to fill yourself. It arrives with a plush down-alternative insert already in it. The cover unzips and comes off for washing whenever you need it.

SAFETY TESTED

The cover fabric is OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified. Every component of it has been laboratory tested against limits for more than 1,000 substances known to be harmful to human health. It's the same standard applied to fabrics made for infants.

If it's going on a couch where kids pile up, or into a nursery, or near anyone with sensitive skin, that certification is worth knowing about.

FROM KELLY'S STUDIO

I'm Kelly. I design everything in this shop myself, from my studio in Chicago, usually with two rescue dogs asleep somewhere behind me.

This one started with a fabric swatch. I'd been looking at old tartan wool and thinking about how holiday decor has gotten so glossy and generic — everything either bright red plastic or beige minimalism. I wanted to make something that looked like it had been in the family a while. Adding your name to the crest was the whole point: it stops being decor and starts being yours.

IF SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT

Because every pillow is printed and sewn just for you with your family's name on it, I can't accept returns or exchanges. But I stand behind the work — if your pillow arrives damaged, misprinted, or not as described, message me within 7 days with a photo and I will make it right.
