What is a Secret Pillow?

The Secret Pillow is…

A gorgeous and stylish pillow that unfolds into a charming blanket. Originating from the age-old and creative world of quilting, it is sometimes known as a ‘Quillow', a quilt that folds into a pillow.

Each one of these delightful pillows is lovingly hand made by women in India from 100% cotton with wadding made from recycled plastic, and come in a wide range of designs and colours, making it easy to find the perfect one for you.

 

The demand for the Secret Pillow means that we are able to give their production to a number of our Maker Groups throughout 5 Indian states from south to north. Read more about our Maker Community here. 

What makes the Secret Pillow unique…

So many things… from it’s myriad of uses to the huge benefits it’s production gives to women. This charming pillow has so many functions! Unfold it to snuggle under whilst watching a film with the kids, as a picnic rug, as beautiful cushions on a sofa in any sitting room or, as one of our customers told us, as a comfy, but great looking pillows on a terrace, on hand to unfold when it gets chilly!  

Yet the Secret Pillow is so much more than a chic accessory to your home… it’s main purpose is to empower women to have the confidence and resources to make choices, thrive and contribute to the strengthening of their communities. 

Visit our shop (go to Shop and Travel) to purchase your Secret Pillow and be part of our journey to empower women in India.
