Testimonials :

"My cousin, Erica introduced me to her dear friend Lindsay and her new Ella Lou pestemals ... Not only can they be used to swaddle babies (and adults) they're also ideal for beach, pool, or as couch throws. AND on cooler days, you can use them as... scarves!" - Rebecca Woolf, Girl's Gone Child 


"Just picked up this Herringbone throw and it's my new favorite thing." - Camille Styles


"There's almost no place a super chic Ella Lou Bonbon Turkish Towel won't go: the beach, the pool, on a picnic, over the couch as a throw, around your neck as a makeshift "hey-that's-cute-where'd-you-get-that?" scarf..." - Eco fabulous

"I LOVE my Ella Lou pestemals. I took one on holiday with me to Croatia and it came to the beach with me everyday. Also been using them at home a ton. They take up no space on my bag and are great for taking to the pool." - a very satisfied customer



We aim to provide our customers a curated collection of the most stylish, luxe goods we can find. We strive to meet the highest standards when selecting our products for you. 

Artisan Made: All of our items are artisan-made, one piece at a time. Many of the artisans we work with have experienced a difficult time locating a market for their goods as they are made using traditional, small-production techniques. We are never certain we are going to be able to buy more of a particular item the first time we purchase it as the artisan may opt to discontinue making it, may not be able to get the materials necessary to reproduce the same colors or patterns, and/or may be out of stock. 

Responsible Sourcing Practices: Although many of our products are imported from abroad, we source products from their countries/regions of origin. For example, our pestamals are sourced in Turkey where they are made using the same techniques used for hundreds of years. We seek out sustainable, environmentally-responsible artisans who employ traditional techniques. We seek our products that are hand-woven, hand-made, dyed using vegetable dyes, and/or made from organic cotton.

Small Production: None of our products are mass-produced, they are all made using small-production techniques; in fact, many of our products are unique, one-of-a-kind items and part of limited collections. We are never certain we are able to going to be able to buy more of a particular item the first time we purchase it as the artisan may opt to discontinue making it, may not be able to get the materials necessary to reproduce the same colors or patterns, and/or may be out of stock.
