chakra pennywhistle

il_fullxfull40082975.jpg
designer rikkianne of chakra pennywhistle is dedicated to working with eco-friendly materials to create her line of pillows, wallets and clothing. her etsy shop is full of affordable, hand-printed pillows made from organic cotton and recycled materials. i’m a sucker for a re-used bag of any time (coffee bags, feed bags, or these old money bags) so these pillows are right up my alley. click here to view rikkianne’s full collection and shop online (pillows are around $30).

ps: if you like the type face used on old bags as much as i do, you’ll love veer’s new weathered woodtype font series. i seriously cannot stop playing with them.

These are so fun! I have a weakness for anything made from re-used bags (especially with neat typography) too.

I like her designs, and the $ bag pillow is so timely, just when everyone is thinking about where their money is
