Natural Inspiration: 10,000 Foot Organic Cotton Bedding

As a card-carrying member of the creative community, I understand that the inspiration process is a unique and varied one. Creative people can turn anything into a muse, from an old song to the colors of a butterfly to about a zillion other possible things. But as consumers, we don’t often get a chance to learn what inspired a deigner to create a product.  When we do, however, it has a way of changing the buying experience for the better.

The 10,000 Foot Organic Cotton bedding collection offers one of those opportunities. So as not to cheapen the description, I wil give it to you directly:

Flying low over the vast fields in California’s San Joaquin Valley, our bedding designer was inspired by the lines and textures of crop rows, flowers, and irrigation canals. She imaginatively translated those natural patterns into the rippling surfaces and broad contrasting bands of our organic cotton collection, as seen in the shams and decorative pillows with sophisticated crush-pleating. An aerial ocean view inspired the channel-quilted, pick-stitched coverlet’s wave pattern. Three dimensional French hand knots rim the sateen lumbar pillows. Complementary earth tones enable her thoroughly original and brilliantly executed modern living collection to soar high above any other.

Doesn’t that change the experience dramatically?  Don’t get me wrong — the bedding is gorgeous either way. But now, when you close your eyes wrapped in organic cotton goodness, you will almost be able to see the rows of crops that inspired the design.  You will be able to feel the connection with nature that the designer must have felt.  And since I deeper connection with nature is at the heart of going green anyway, I say go for it.
