Not Mrs. Brady's Bean Bag Chair

Not Mrs. Brady's Bean Bag Chair
Say "bean bag chair" and my mind flashes back to 1975, an image of a shiny vinyl blob sitting on shag carpeting. I can even conjure up the squeaking sound it made when I landed on it. The bean bag chairs by Cocoon Couture?  Yeah, not one of those.

This Australian company uses pinwale corduroy and vintage fabrics to create soft, sturdy covers with a smile-inducing critter sewn onto the side.  Stop by Cute-ture to pick out your favorite among half-a-dozen forest friends.  My favorite? A toss-up between the sweet bird and Little Foxy who embodies charm and cool.

But it wouldn't be cool if thousands of little beads came spilling out, so I know you'll appreciate the internal lining that insures that the beads stay put. Be sure to order a bag of Cocoon Couture's recycled bean filler which is sold separately, and you can even ask the kind people at Cute-ture to prefill your bags before shipping to save you the trouble.
Bean bags have sure come a long way, baby. -Christina
