Announcement
everything in this collection is handmade in toronto by textile artist,
heather shaw who started p i ’ l o over twenty years ago while at art school.
it began from an absolute love and need to make functional items for the home with a simple and natural aesthetic and has been a labour of love ever since.
each piece is made carefully and responsibly by heather and the women or friends that help her out of a coach house studio behind an old victorian house that once housed a sausage factory. it is a very calm and soothing space with natural light and plenty of inspiration from all the fabrics, notions and vintage supplies that are used.
hopefully each piece will bring happiness and be passed down to future generations . . .

5 out of 5 starsSuperb confection! I bought 2nd quality tissue box covers at a reduced price, but they are perfect! I can't find where the gaps or errors are... Beautiful packaging. Would make a lovely 🎁 gift! I will definitely purchase again from this shop 🥰

5 out of 5 starsNumber four for me! LOVE these Kleenex box covers as I no longer have to waste any thought on the less-than-appealing patterns available.

5 out of 5 starsAs I move toward reusing items, these (I purchased 2) can be used over and over again. I will be using them to house snacks in my car as I go about my daily activities. Stunning and useful! What's not to LOVE?!

5 out of 5 starsTwo were purchased with the intent of creating a 2024 Christmas theme for myself and my husband. They are beautiful and I have to add, I'm almost hesitant to use them as they're so lovely. How does one work one of these into one's everyday attire away from the kitchen?

heather shaw
Owner, Designer, Creator
i grew up in toronto, canada and have always loved making things. after studying art history, i went to art college on both coasts to receive a bfa in textiles. it was so much fun to make art full time and to learn how to weave, print, weld, etc.

screenprinter
Toronto, ON
we have used a small local screen printing studio to print our tea towels, dandelion hankies and some of the pillows for quite a few years. they are great to collaborate with and saves us lots of mess and space in the studio.
