Strauss Innovation: Chevron Prints!

I nearly fell over when I walked into Strauss Innovation the other day on the Lister Meile nearby and saw chevron pillows! I mean, this is NOT a common pattern in Germany so I was surprised and delighted. They look very ethnic (ikat) and so they are jagged and not smooth -- which I like -- and so I grabbed two in gray/white. They also had beige/white but gray is my color so I scooped them up quickly. This pattern is much like the ones sold at Madeline Weinrib Atelier in New York  -- I'm a huge fan of Madeline but cannot get any of her products in Germany...

new pillow for 6,95!

The quality is great and the pattern looks beautiful in my living room against my white sofa. The pillow covers zip up so you can remove them and the best part is that you can buy the pillow cover with or without the insert. I have plenty of inserts since I rotate my pillows seasonally, so I bought the covers for only 6,95 Euros each ($9 USD) so they're a great budget find, too!

Lovely, huh!?

Oh I love Chevron for quite awhile already! It's such a stylish pattern. And of course great choice with gray+white! xo

Wow, you are really fast with blog entries today, I'm having a hard time to follow =9
Seems as if you are having a very creative time. Spring energy, I call it and to me it definitely applies.
Your cushion looks great on your white sofa and the paintings by your friend are sooo lovely. Would love to own one of them but I guess I would have a hard time to decide which one to take.
Dear Holly, have a great day and good luck with your cleaning. Don't work too much though, the weather is too nice :)

Love,
FrauSchmitt

well this sounds silly to say, but this pillow cover is so encouraging to me right now! ha, I'm taking a break from a more-difficult-than-I-thought sewing project and decided to check out Haus Maus. See how much cheer a new little slipcover will bring? I know my project will bring the same, so I'm not going to get mad at it, I'm just going to go finish it! =)

You can find a similar, but more colorful pattern - not hard to be with Grey and White ;))at Vossberg: https://www.vossbergversand.de/index.php?se=466&st=3&pg1=3&pg2=1068

Lovely too I think!

Have a great weekend Holly

I went to Strauss yesterday but didn't see those. Maybe I'll go back and look again. They're really pretty, and if the beige looks nice it's a deal!

It looks like they don't ship orders, and these would be perfect for my bedroom!! Any ideas if they do ship (to the US)?

HEY! No fair! I want some in Austria. Can I buy them online? This kills me. I've been looking even for some fabric forever, but ready made pillowcases for 7 euros? Jealous!! Schönes Wochenende Holly!

Jane - Thanks for that link! I have bright pink and white chevron pillow and I also have black/white and yellow/white fabric to make more. :) I love color but my apartment only has two rooms and a husband so I can't go crazy. YET. When I get a new apartment with more rooms I will go color crazy. :)

Wow, considering the crap Strauss usually selly, these look great! I will tell my sister in law to go and check them - they would match her living room soo well! Thanks for the tip!

Holly Holly! Have you seen this: http://www.anthropologie.eu/page/home

...yay! Of course you could order the clothes from the us site before too, but "wohnung" things they didn't ship over seas.
Oooh that is my perfect pillow right there! Wish they had them in the US :(
