Our story

We make two things: heavy cotton throws with the faces you love woven right into them, and linen pillows with those faces stitched right on. Never printed on top. Thread, all the way through.

Our first throw: a black-and-white photo of two people squishing each other’s faces, woven and draped over a cream sofa

Where it started

Our first throw was a black-and-white photo of the two of us pulling faces, woven for a sofa that needed cheering up.

Friends asked for one. Then their friends did. It turns out a lot of people have a photo they’d rather wrap around themselves than scroll past.

So we built a way for anyone to design their own, from a photo or just a few words, in a style or none at all, see it in thread in about a minute, and approve it on screen before anything is made.

The Ink & Sun style: a shiba in loose black sumi ink in front of a big red sun, woven

Why woven

A printed blanket is a picture sitting on fabric. A woven throw is a picture made of fabric.

Every color in your throw is its own thread, woven over and under thousands of times. So the picture is part of the cloth itself, and there’s no print sitting on top of it to crack, peel or wash out.

The Embroidered Pillow: a doberman in a leopard-print headscarf, black cat-eye sunglasses and a pearl necklace, stitched on natural linen

Then, a needle

People kept asking for something for the armchair, the dorm, the dog bed. So we learned to embroider.

The Embroidered Pillow starts the same way: your photo, and a design you see and approve on screen before anything is made. Then your portrait is embroidered onto natural linen, with a name underneath if you like.

How it’s woven

Four steps for a throw, from your phone to your sofa. You see and approve the design before anything is made.

  1. Your photo

    Any photo with faces you can see. No photo? Describe it and our AI makes the picture.

  2. The style

    You pick a style, or go blank, and see it woven in about a minute. Change it as often as you like, then order the one you love.

  3. The weave

    Once you order, your throw is made for you: your picture woven into thick cotton, one row at a time.

  4. The fringe

    Each throw gets a twisted fringe, then it’s sent to your door, 18–25 days after you order.

What we stand by

We don’t keep a warehouse of blankets or pillows. Every piece starts when you click create, and ends when it’s on your sofa.

What are they made of?

Throws are thick cotton, woven with your picture all the way through and finished with a twisted fringe. Pillows are natural linen with your portrait embroidered on the front. Each one’s size is shown with its price before you add it to your bag.

How long does it take?

Your design is on screen in about a minute. Once you order, your throw or pillow is made for you from start to finish and arrives in 18–25 days. Shipping is priced at checkout, before you pay anything.

Can I see it before it’s made?

Yes. You see your design on screen as you make it, free and with no card needed. What you see is what we make. Nothing is made until you order.

How should I wash it?

Throws: machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, then lay flat or tumble dry low. Don’t bleach, and go easy on the fringe: just give it a shake once it’s dry. Pillows: spot clean with cold water, then air dry.

What if something’s wrong?

If it arrives damaged, send us photos within 14 days of delivery and we’ll make it again for you, free.

Your turn

Upload it and see it woven or stitched in about a minute. It’s free to design, needs no card, and nothing is made until you order.
