Arriving in April

So in April there will be a new addition to all the fabulous kiddie stuff at Pillove.se. Based in Luangwa Valley in Zambia this Fair Trade project employs between 150-220 rural Zambians. Their wonderful vibrant handpainted textiles are as likely to turn up in a New York loft as it is in a boutique hotel in Spain! Make your kids room spectacular and support a good cause
at the same time! The best way to shop...

Hmong woman with traditional Baby carrier

Ok, so these bag are art pieces. Every bag is unique as they are made of vintage Chinese baby carriers where every piece of fabric is unique. The fabric is covered with intricate hand embroidery in the most beautiful colors. The baby carriers where originally made and used by Chinese Hmong hill tribes. I can't begin to tell you how beautiful they are, you simply have to get one of your own and marvel at its beauty everyday! Each bag is lined with black cotton fabric and has two inner pockets where one closes with a zipper. The price of each bag varies depending on the condition of the embroidery and on the size of the original baby carrier.
Bright Orange & Blue Price 1600 SEK
Pastel Pink & Turquise Price 1800 SEK
Subdued Red & Green Price 1800 SEK
