"It's time to pour a glass of champagne. She said yes and I am overjoyed...it's the best day of my life" - said he. "I proposed to my loved one down on one knee and in a My Billet Doux I placed a gorgeous ring and a love note for her to discover."

My Billet Doux cushions are made of silk douppion and adorned with antique or vintage ribbons. In this case it's a unique 1890-1900 French grosgrain ribbon embroidered with the words "Will you marry me". This ribbon comes from an archive of a French manufacturers and would have been a sampler shown to clients- so it's extra special- only one exists.

You can use our cushions to propose with, present your rings at your wedding ceremony or simply to give a piece of jewellery or a small gift to a loved one. Write a note with a My Billet Doux pen and on one of the lovely hand letterpress cards provided and hide it in the cushion.

Our cushions come in a range of colours and designs to suit all tastes. We are excited to launch our trade line at Top Drawer in London this September.

This cushion is £190 and comes in a lovely gift box with a couple of hand letterpress cards and a pen.
