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.
