British Flag - Union Jack Pillow

I bought two of those Union Jack pillows because I like the design of the British Flag,

which at the moment is quite a decorator's item. These pillows are made in England and of

good quality. However, I am not so fond of this distressed (shabby chic) look where they

made the material look scratched and dirty. Somebody who does not know that this is

the design will think that this pillow needs a wash. I would have preferred it if it would have

been just the regular material. Still, it looks funky and brigthens up a room.
