Vintage Map Co.

Vintage map pillows

Owner and maker Helen Hawketts started her small family business back in 2010. She always enjoyed vintage maps but it took finding one amazing 1932 roadmap of Prince Edward County to finally start making her unique Canadian vintage map pillows. Today she has over 20 different maps from places all across Canada.

She makes all her pillows by hand in her Toronto studio, or her Prince Edward County farmhouse. They are created as a vintage-style linen pillowcase with 100% down-filled insert. Your Vintage Map Co pillow will become a treasured family heirloom for years to come.
