Graphic Pillowcases from Urban Outfitters

7-10-08beddingUO.jpgSo... here it goes. We're indifferent. Cop out? Maybe. But we honestly just don't have an opinion about these. Do we want them in our home? Probably not. Do we hate them? Nope. Sure, they're silly, but that's never stopped us from liking something before. We found them at Urban Outfitters and just had to share. What do you think? Do you like them? A few more photos after the jump.

Most of the black and white bedding we've seen is more geometric or has a pattern than graphic. Maybe that's what's puzzling us about these. Anyway, we think they'd look good on a bed with a white fitted sheet and a really simple red wool duvet cover.


More information here, and here.

I like the bird ones a lot.

I like them. But I'm also the person who bought this:

(see "turntables") http://snoozecitydesigns.com/COLLECTIONS/Pages/SNOOZE.html#grid

for my boyfriend last year.

There's no accounting for individual taste, but I do especially like "Bird on a Wire."

Yeah, I also think the birds are quite nice. It would be an incentive to make my bed a little more carefully every day.

I love the nature-inspired ones, but it would bother me whenever the pillows were askew and not aligned properly. Too much work, haha.

I like the last two, but agree with crazy_betty that it'd be more trouble than it was worth.

These are a lot of fun. The bird on a wire is definitely my fave too!

nice sheets
but buying from UO is like buying from the Prince of Darkness, or at least helping to put him into the Presidency...

Someone in SilverLake is foregoing lunch so he/she can afford these 'hip pillow shirts.'

I love them in the way that I love pink hair and tattoos. I love them on others but couldn't really see myself with them.


Didn't know that about UA. I'll have to make an effort to shop there more often!

I like to browse in Urban Outfitters sometimes, and Anthropologie - this is sort of a related effect - I get self-conscious right before I want to buy something I like because I just feel like such a poser. It's a shortcut to an element. Will this appeal to me because it's edgy and I like it, or do I like it because this store sells edgy things? I don't know what's the word to substitute for edge at Anthropologie. Darling? I feel like buying these pillowcases is like walking into the consumer trap just to be able to say, 'Hi! I shopped at Urban Outfitters!'

I got a great buddha t-shirt there in 1999, but the next thing I knew, everybody else had the same one. :-(

If it were organic or made in the U.S., I might still go there, but it's all about the style for those people. I bought some string lights that turned out to have lead-contaminated wiring. The cashiers when I returned it were like "Loser. Live dangerously."

Sometimes you need shortcuts in life. I think the occasional piece from Urban Outfitters or Anthropologie would be okay, just don't buy out the store.

I'm not crazy about the pillowcases. The bird on a wire might be okay, but the rest look too dorm room for me.
