St. Louis Landmark Pillow

Every stitch in this Catstudio St. Louis landmark pillow is placed by hand — and once you see the embroidery up close, that matters.

Catstudio has built a devoted following for exactly this kind of piece: a 20 x 20-inch accent pillow that reads as decor first and souvenir never. The Gateway Arch design is rendered in hand embroidery on 100% organic cotton, finished with black velvet piping that gives the whole thing a quietly tailored edge. It's the kind of thing that sits on a living room couch or an armchair and earns a comment from every first-time visitor — not because it announces itself, but because it rewards a second look. St. Louis residents who've watched the Arch from a Forest Park trail or spotted it from the highway on the way home will feel the pull immediately. So will anyone who's ever tried to find a meaningful gift for someone moving to or from the city.

The button closure on the back keeps the cover removable, which means it actually gets used instead of carefully avoided.

• 20 x 20 inches — standard accent pillow size that works with most inserts
• Hand-embroidered Gateway Arch design with genuine artisanal construction
• 100% organic cotton shell — soft, breathable, and sustainably sourced
• Black velvet piping along all four edges for a finished, tailored look
• 3-button closure on the back for easy cover removal
• Designed and produced by Catstudio, known for their city and landmark embroidery series

To keep your Catstudio embroidered pillow looking its best, remove the cover using the back button closure and wash it on a gentle cycle in cold water. Lay flat to dry — the organic cotton and hand embroidery both hold up better without heat. Spot-treating the velvet piping with a damp cloth as needed will keep the edges crisp between washes. A well-cared-for hand-embroidered pillow like this one is the kind of thing that stays in a room for years without ever looking out of place.
