Think a luxury pillow has to be made of silk? Think again- African-born, London-based designer Bridget West crafts gorgeous housewares, pillows, and throws, from vintage labels and tags that critique the throw-away nature of our consumer existence in a really beautiful way. Her Handle With Care pillow is made from clothing tags, while the Delicate Cube and Made in Cube pillows are quirky and comfy, featuring inked graphics and organic cotton or hemp.

    good idea Jonce, but I wonder what the care tag on the inside of the dress or shirt would say.

    That’s a great idea, because those tags are made out of such soft silky stuff!

    Is there any copyright on this? I am doing an upcycling event for my GCSEs and was wondering if I could use this idea for a demonstration?
