About Pricing:

The sales price as of 2020 is a promotional price to see if this project can be sustainable. We set the flat shipping fee of $3.00 within the US domestic shipping. If your address is outside of the U.S., we may ask extra fees to cover the shipping cost from Japan/the US.

It is our goal to market our product as the "Crossed-out Price" indicate eventually.

Only 2 pieces are available in the U.S. as of 2020. If you would order more than 4 pieces, the bulk purchase discount will be available (the bigger discount, the more you would purchase). Also, we can try to consider the wholesale price when a partner agrees on the production time frame.

About Pillow Insert:

This Pillow Cover doesn't include the Pillow Insert to avoid the unnecessary expensive shipping fee. A reasonable pillow insert can be purchased from many retailers. The one I used for the sample photo is what I bought in 2017 from Amazon (Link is here).

Please be advised to get the 18" x 18" sized pillow for the best result.

About the Pattern & Size:

The other patterns & sizing may be available based on your preference. Please read the detail above and contact Atsushi.
