Christmas might not be the same this year- but it certainly will not be cancelled. 

We need to think more and more how to bring some festive cheer, some love and attention to people who will not be celebrating with us.

My Billet Doux is a special cushion which is the messenger of a beautiful letter, beautiful  and kind words. Write a lovely message to your family, friend or a loved one in the cards or notebook provided...slip it in the cushion and send it over to be opened at Christmas.

Use one of our notebooks to write your dreams or New year's wishes and revisit it in a year.

Our cushions provide love, comfort and make a beautiful keepsake to have around your home. How magical is it to receive a heartfelt message knowing that someone has spent time handwriting a note and thinking of what to say.

We design all our cushions around antique and vintage ribbons and beautiful vintage fabrics too. Each one is unique or made in a limited edition of 5.

Now it's up to you to decide, who will you write to? Make someone's Christmas personal and extra special.

The concept - My Billet Doux™ (pronounced bee-yay-doo and literally translated as ‘sweet note’) brings the lost art of letter writing back to life in an utterly charming way.

My Billet Doux make beautiful handmade silk cushions and they are available in two designs.

  1. Love cushion with a discreet pocket on the back to store a notebook and pen that come with it.
  1. Envelope cushion with an envelope style opening to keep letter pressed note cards and a pen, and display you rings or jewellery pieces or to just send a gorgeous love note.

The cushions are decorated with a vintage ribbon, each with a story of its own and some dating back to the 1800s.

Write a letter or note to someone and leave it tucked in the Love Cushion to be discovered. Or keep a diary of thoughts, hidden from view.

Write a beautiful note or Christmas wish and place it in the Envelope Cushion, with or without an item of jewellery as a special gift.

Price - From £130.00
