Call me crazy, but did Urban Outfitters just totally snake these new illustrated-pillowcase designs from Bay Area indie designers Evo Noche? (If so, it wouldn't be the first time in recent memory.)
Let's take a closer look, shall we?
Evo Noche: Satellite, Adjust, and Cage cases ($16 each)
Urban Outfitters: Fancy Chandelier, Guitar and Amp, and Dreaming of Paris cases ($24 per pair)
Stark, black-on-white color scheme: Check.
Sweetly punk, vaguely industrial vibe: Check.
Pen-and-ink-style illustrations of objects not normally seen on bedding: Check.
I leave the verdict to you.

I followed this link from Making it Lovely a while back; It's a record of many of UO's rip-offs.
Oh goodness; you're so right. I'd call that a bona fide rip-off.
Too bad I love the pillowcases just the same. Ahhhh, I'm such a sucker for cheap and good design!
Yeesh. They're shameless.
Wow, I am suprised that you sleuths didn't do your homework. If you looked closer at the Urban Outfitters site you would notice that the pillow cases they have are by a company called Snooze City Designs(www.snoozecitydesigns.com). While Eva Noche does a couple of pillowcases along with other random home items, the SCD business is exclusivley pillow cases in black & white, as well as multi-colored prints. For your next double take you may want to let us all know who invented the screen printed T-Shirt and let us know about all the people who "Snaked"that.
Wow..!
I like both Evo Noche and Urban's pillowcases..! Both of them have super cool designs! But, Eva Noche charges $16 for one pillow case : (
...and Urban charges $24 for the set...!
Looks like Urban wins this one! I'm going to buy the Chandeliers!! and the guitar & amplifier for my brother!!!
XOXO,
Amy
THE GUITAR PILLOWS ARE OFF THE HOOK$$$
