  • We are very aware of time differences so we answer convos a few times a day.
  • cutting fabric- we spend a lot of time doing this almost everyday...
  • We recently built a studio space and it is so great!!
  • The studios includes a special craft spot for our girls to draw while we work.
  • The view from the studio: not uncommon to see wallabies grazing from my window and lots of kookaburras laughing too!

Vintage maps printed on modern textiles....

    Hello! My name is Cath and I run My Bearded Pigeon with my husband Neil. I do the creative stuff Neil helps with book keeping, post office runs and wrangling kids so I can do this!

  • Neil

    Neil does a lot of packing and posting and pick up and deliveries of fabric. He also spends a lot of time at our local post office.

  • Janine

    Janine helps us with sewing some of the cushions when it gets a bit crazy busy for us - she lives just down the road which is very handy.

    Baxter is our Irish wolfhound cross big puppy. He lays under our feet when we are working and goes running in the forest with Cath to protect her from sticks that look like snakes.

Frequently asked questions

Authenticity is important to us:

We are a small family run business operated from our home in the forest in Australia. All fabric is exclusive to us! We have access to a private collection of maps and we have the maps digitally printed onto fabric. The maps are over 100 years old, sometimes there are spelling mistakes and other inaccuracies on some of the maps, but we feel it would be disingenuous to correct them. Some colours are more vibrant than others, we try to portray the colours accurately. Sometimes place names are blurred due to the age of the maps, not all maps are in English. Please use the zoom feature under each photo for a better look!
Just a reminder we sell the covers only.

Cards, Gifts, Presents etc.

We are happy to add cards or notes to the package but we cannot gift wrap as this increases the cost of shipping. We do not send a receipt with the item ( as you would have received an email from etsy / paypal at time of purchase) however we do have to write the amount the package is worth on the green customs form that is placed on the outside of the envelope.

Australia Post information

Australia Post DOES NOT OFFER INTERNATIONAL TRACKING as standard, however you can upgrade toinclude tracking, please contact us prior for a quote, minimum cost is $45AUD. All orders within Australia will have trackng as part of price.

Once a package is shipped we can not be responsible if your package does not arrive in time for a special occasion. Sometimes parcels are delayed for several weeks in customs, this seems to be the case in Germany and Canada, we have no control over this. If you do not receive your package please notify us within 30days of ordering. If the recipient moves house within 8 weeks of the order being posted internationally and the order does not arrive or is not returned to sender we are not responsible for this.

Other Info

Part of what makes our item covers so great is that the fabric is exclusive to us, that is why we don't sell the fabric by itself. Inserts can be bought cheaper than the extra postage costs.

We also came up with this definition of hangry shown on our cushions and wall hangings, and it is subject to copyright. We aim to run our business ethically by using certified organic cottons wherever possible.

Custom and personalised orders

We are no longer doing any new maps as we got to about 180 and decided that was enough! if you cant find what you are looking for it may have sold out so please send me a convo and I can let you know.
Thanks
