LAVENDER-Filled MEDITATION EYE PILLOWS

These eye pillows are made by hand, filled with toasted rice and scented lavender flowers from my London garden. Its gentle weight on the eyes helps you drop easier and deeper into your meditation, with the calming effect of the lavender.

I designed the eye pillow for my own mediation practice, and so far selected the fabrics from London’s famous fabric district, Tokyo’s tenugui artisans and from a tiny shop in Mumbai. The approach is to keep sourcing for interesting and beautiful fabrics, then make the batches. They will only be available sporadically as we go, so make sure to follow on Instagram and subscribe to the newsletter to learn about the next collection going up for sale. The eye pillows are part of my NesuTora project, where I make beautiful things together with my Japanese mother.

My very first prototype happened to be picked up by Alexa Chung for her Sleep Talk episode.

The pillows are made of a calico pillow filled with lavender flowers and toasted rice,
and a 100% cotton sleeve that can be hand washed cold.
