A shirt can hold a whole chapter: years at work, a favorite team, a special trip, or the person who wore it. Josephine & Co. transforms meaningful shirts into individually handcrafted memory pillows with clean lines and a carefully finished interior.
A shirt led design
The Signature Heirloom Pillow starts at $145 and is designed around one or two garments. A button front, pocket, familiar pattern, or printed detail may become the focal point when the fabric and construction allow. The finished piece is a pillow made from your own garment, with a coordinating insert included.
Will one shirt be enough
The answer depends on the shirt's size, seams, condition, and the details you want to preserve. We review the usable material before deciding the final dimensions. Square pillows range from 12 by 12 to 20 by 20 inches; rectangular options range from 12 by 16 to 14 by 20 inches. These are possible sizes, rather than a promise that every shirt can make every size.
When several shirts belong together
For a pieced design using several fabrics, the Heirloom Composition Pillow starts at $195. Fragile fabric, elaborate details, or especially complex work may suit a Legacy Pillow Commission, starting at $225. We can help you choose after reviewing photographs of your shirts.
A considered finish
Each pillow includes a fully lined cover, professionally finished seams, a hidden zipper, and a coordinating pillow form. Textiles are evaluated and stabilized as needed. Final size and design depend on the condition of your materials and the usable fabric available.
Complimentary shipping of your finished order is included within the continental United States. You are responsible for shipping your clothing or textiles to us. Current estimated production timing is communicated before production begins.
