AT THE JUXTAPOSITION OF
California hippie-chic and
masculine edgy-cool is where
you’ll find Harper James Design.
The full-service residential
design studio and online
home décor shop is known
for bringing bohemian flair to
classic, laidback styles. And their
colorful, patterned line of throw
pillows is a perfect example.
Owner Michelle
Chandler began the
shop after moving
to Birmingham
from California.
Here, she started her
own design studio and
quickly realized that her clients
wanted trending designer style,
just without the intimidation it
typically can bring. So, Chandler
created a shop filled with oneof-a-kind
pieces that are curated
by a professional eye but also
are easy to purchase and simple
to style.
From classic black-and-white
polka dots to coastal ocean-blue
stripes, there’s a Harper James
pillow to fit any household. All
pillows are made with vintage
or restored textiles that are
hand woven and hand sewn,
which means they’re a unique
statement piece for you home.
Chandler also is currently
working to source all her textiles
from women artisans to benefit
the growth of women’s rights.
