When you retire, you plan to spend your days lounging on the couch.

Why should your hardworking garments be any different?

Designer Rebecca Juliette-Duex creates snazzy custom pillows from old button-down blouses — so you can retire them with good conscience.

Shaking your head over an unfortunate cowboy phase? Juliette-Duex will turn that lumber embarrassment into lumbar support. The same goes for sentimental school relics gathering dust in the closet.

She’ll size the pillow to fit your garment, even centering buttons for symmetry. She also sells ready-made pillows, but your custom designs will be sofa ready within a month.

If only your own golden years could see you sitting so pretty.
