T-Cozy

These aren't your grandmother's throw pillows. No, these cushions combine an all-grown-up, contemporary style with a wild burst of youthful enthusiasm. That infusion of energy comes from the bold stripes of reclaimed T-shirts, with a one-of-a-kind combination of colors and patterns in either a warm or cool palette. Angular lines of stitching crisscross the vibrant front panel, while the back offers a contrasting panel of conservative black cotton. Created by Kathy Carrier and her talented team of artisans, the reclaimed nature of these materials means that each will have unique variations. Handmade in Indiana.
