About Ethel Studio

Ethel Studio is a zero-waste textile studio working to reduce textile waste + improve personal well-being through meditation cushions and other tools for rest + transformation. We believe that when we create intentional spaces for looking inward, we can grow our capacity for caring for ourselves, which can in turn transform the world. While working as a textile designer in the New York fashion industry, our founder became overwhelmed with the amount of textile waste the industry produces every year. She witnessed first-hand during factory visits the immense amount of fabric cut away during the garment production process destined for landfill or incineration. She couldn’t keep adding to the problem, so she chose to devote her life to using only rescued fabrics in her designs and inspiring others to do the same. At the same time, she didn't want to continue creating products without longevity or purpose, so she looked to her meditation practice for inspiration. After much soul-searching and then lots of prototyping, Ethel Studio was born in 2018! Check out our line of one-of-a-kind meditation cushions, eye pillows, and relief pillows, including our NEW Luna Cushion in a unique half-moon shape! Our colors evolve, so check back often!
