From one of my favorite fabric sources, Ian Mankin, comes an assortment of off-the-shelf pillows made in a variety of striped and solid cottons and linens. Most pillows are available in either square or rectangular shapes, and come with luxury duck feather inserts. If you are in London, make a trip to their Primrose Hill shop; if you are in the US, Ian Mankin ships stateside. Limited Edition Pillows made from vintage fabrics sourced all over Europe are also available.
