Thakoon + Ankasa for Edition01

Judging from my inbox, there is a lot of action on the interwebs right now! Cyber Monday's sales and promotions are in full swing and I seem to have received every single sale announcement over the past few days. One email from the deluge that was particularly interesting (and not Cyber Monday-related) was regarding the new Thakoon + Ankasa pillow collection for Edition01. Here is a sampling of the pillows...

I like the black/grey/ivory print on the first two best. I was surprised that there wasn't more embroidery and embellishment because both Thakoon and Ankasa are known for luxe details. Plus, there are only six different styles and only three different fabrics in the whole set which was a bit disappointing. The fabrics hailed from Thakoon's pre-Spring runway collection and I was sad that some of the others weren't used...like these:

Hopefully, there will be another collection with fabrics from Thakoon's spring collection because those fabrics are so fun!!

So, what do you think of the Thakoon + Ankasa pillow collection for Edition01? I'm left wanting more but on the positive side, I like a couple of the prints (not the rose one) and I appreciate that the prices aren't too crazy.

For those who aren't familiar with Edition01, it's a new site that collaborates with renowned designers to create limited edition capsule collections. So far, my socks aren't knocked off by anything I've seen but it's pretty new so I'm sure it'll only get better. You can sign up through this link: Edition01.

Embroidered Pillows

Just before I left for Jackson Hole last Wednesday, I picked up a pillow that I had monogrammed at Madison, one of my favorite Dallas shops. I got back in town yesterday and finally had a chance to marvel at how great the pillow looks with its new embellishment.

Madision has an in-house embroidery guru and he is capable of executing some seriously exquisite monogram designs. I love the raised border and the contrasting fill color in the one he did for me...

If you're looking to do something similar, check out the new Sachin + Babi for Ankasa line. They have lots of embellished pillows with a center area that would be a perfect spot for a monogram.

The only downside to the collection is the price tag...not going to lie, it's pretty hefty. I have seen these pillows in person, however, and the quality is outstanding.

If you're looking for a more affordable option, check out Luxury Monograms. They have some fabulous pillows too!
