Local Pick-Up: Please select this option only if you’re able to make the available pick-up times. Pick-up is offered at our Vancouver studio on Tuesdays from 10–6pm. Once your order is ready, you’ll receive an email with a link to book your time slot.
Please allow 1–7 days for order processing.
Holiday Note: Additional pick-up times will be added as I’m able to make myself available.
Studio Address:
1616 Pandora Street, Vancouver, BC
Pillows: Orders placed after December 9 can’t be guaranteed to arrive in time for the holidays (but we’ll try our best to make dreams come true!). Orders are fulfilled in the order they’re received. Due to the high volume this time of year and the production time required for pillows, December 9 is the holiday cutoff.
Calendars: These are ready to ship and require a shorter lead time, but to account for possible postal delays, December 9 is also the recommended cutoff.
Orders placed after December 9 will still be fulfilled with care (and a little haste!) as I do my best to make holiday dreams come true.
Thank you for your patience and continued support. Each piece is handmade with love and care in the studio.

Below are some common questions about our pillows

Or dry clean.
Not machine washable.

Due to the design of these sculptural pillows the covers are not removable or interchangeable. They do not have a zipper to access the filling.
All pillows are filled with a hypoallergenic polyfill. A recycled synthetic fibre produced in Canada.
Although not designed for a particular ergonomic fit, they are wonderful for reading, as a body pillow, and to lace yourself through the links. They offer great support in all the right places.
The wiggle is approximately 3 lbs, the two link 5 lbs and the three link weighs in at 8 lbs.
Why so heavy? The filling will compress over time as they are used and loved. It's a priority for them to maintain the integrity of their shape over time. That is why they are firm and dense while being cozy and huggable.
This is an example of a response that you might give. It's good to be as thorough as possible in responses as that has a tendency to improve trust overall.
Please get in touch to book a studio visit if you are local to Vancouver BC. Otherwise refer to my stockiest list to find a shop near you.
Annie Axtell pieces come with a limited warranty. Accidents do happen and wear and tear on a plush item that is well loved will sometimes result in damage. If you need a repair on your pillow feel free to reach out to see what is possible.

Depending on the timezone you live in, certain lunar phases will occur on different dates. To account for this, the Lunar Calendar is available in two time zones: PST and EST.
If you live in the Mountain Time Zone or Central Time Zone, please select the PST Calendar. While there will be small differences between your local moon phases and what is shown in the Calendar, this will be the most accurate.
