ANKASA-OUTDOORS

 

I couldn't resist. It may look like I'm pushing the envelope a little, featuring these gorgeous water resistant pillows from Ankasa in the throws of winter, but I discovered them on a recent trip to their Manhattan store and knew they would be the perfect accessory on a porch or poolside chair this summer. Anaska, known for their delicate embroidery and fashion forward home design lines, created a modern collection of duck cloth pillows in a variety of bold, graphic prints with luxurious finishes. Inspired by chic resort locals like Punta Cana, Amalfi and Naples, these pretty pillows are sure to lend a vibrant and sophisticated vibe to any outdoor area-just as soon as the snow clears.
