Lovely as they may be, skyline prints can be a little cliché. At least that’s what we thought before stumbling onto an Etsy gem that made us love them all over again!

Luxurious home décor meets fun artwork to make a charming union on this crisp white duvet. The inky image design of the Philadelphia cityscape is possibly what gives this otherwise “soft to the touch” clean cover its friendly character. The included pillow cases with high flying birds add to the already pleasant bedspread.

Meanwhile, a bright red rendering of the LOVE statue pops out from the black and white façade, clearly announcing what town is displayed (as if the familiar skyscrapers and William Penn statue a top City Hall didn’t give it away).

April Melchior, the novice business owner behind Urban Work Textiles, started her “newborn baby” company from her home this past June. The South Philly resident’s mission? “To get fun, functional pieces of art in your home, with original designs and quality products.” Fun and functional, indeed.

Besides being handmade, the blanket is made to order. Meaning, this awesome cotton quilt will be tailored to your bed’s size. $375 for a twin, $514 for a full / queen, and $545 for a king-sized.

Living abroad? Two words: Worldwide shipping.

Etsy, you are the BEST.
