Destination: Mackinac Island

by catstudio

Hello, Mackinac Island!

Today we’re exploring the 8.2 miles of historic Mackinac Island, Michigan—the “Jewel of the Great Lakes!” Whether you’re traveling with kids or flying solo, there's something for everyone.

Whenever we embark on a new design, it's always a challenge to squeeze everything we want into the 20 square inches of hand-embroidery our pillows allow for. To help with this endeavor, we always work with friends and local stores in the area to gain an insider-feel that both locals and tourists will treasure. The design is HAND-DRAWN, taking even the smallest details to heart.

We hope this design sparks joy and nostalgia for you—whether Mackinac Island is home, your favorite place to visit, or where you dream of traveling. Enjoy the adventure!
