Mod Diva’s Throw Pillows



Throw pillows were the first product for Mod Diva as I was searching for some really nice pillows.  But I was unable to find high quality throw pillows at a price that I could afford.  Target, Walmart and many department stores only offered generic looking ones and the textile / materials were many times polyester blends (I personally hate the feeling of poly fabric on my skin).



ModDiva offers one of the largest selections of decorative pillows online.  With the variety of colors and designs we offer, there is something there for everyone and almost every taste.  All of the throw pillows are made utilizing the highest quality cotton and cotton / linen fabrics.  As beautiful as these pillows are, they are as easy to care for as they are machine washable with cold water and iron as needed.  

The seams inside are all serged with a 5 needle industrialized serger machine preventing fraying and ensuring lifelong durability.  Many throw pillows purchased at department store use only a single needle machine without going to extra mile of serging all seams, so the seams will fall apart or start fraying after only a few washes.  

We are using an invisible zipper as closure.  We have gotten many compliments on the look of our invisible zippers “…they are truly invisible” has been many customers feedback.  The invisible zippers allow not just for easy changing of covers, but you can use “both” sides of the pillow.  Many companies utilize a solid fabric on one side which lowers their material cost of the finished merchandise.  So, customer can utilize only one side of the pillow since the back side is just a solid color and the zipper, most likely, goes through the middle of the solid back.  Many companies put the zipper in the center of the back (versus using an invisible zipper) is because the invisible zippers are a lot more expensive and much more difficult to sew in.  The invisible zipper requires more skilled craftsmanship.

Design Process: When going through the selection process of what textiles to utilize as throw pillows, it is important that only high thread count fabrics are being used to ensure that the finished product lasts for a very long time.  We try to not just select one stand-alone fabric to make a pillow but we try to select a group of fabrics that would make a “collection” allowing the customer to mix and match all the various designs.  

Manufacturing Process: The cutting phase is very important; maybe even the most important phase of the manufacturing process.  Many of the textiles used have to be hand cut due to the nature of the pattern.  That is very time consuming but well worth the end result.  Our local San Diego sewing contractor takes care of the assembly of the pillow covers.
