High atop Mount Vaca on the border of California’s Napa and Solano Counties, Denise Revel, aka Girl on the Hill, lovingly tends to an acre of naturally grown lavender plants in order to create one-of-a-kind eye and neck pillows, dream pillows and sachets filled with the fragrant dried flowers of this miraculous plant.

Influenced by her family’s French heritage and her San Francisco upbringing, Girl on the Hill works with the rhythms of the area’s natural microclimates to grow over 4,000 Grosso and Provence lavender plants, prized for their incredible beauty and scent. Grown in accordance with the USDA standards for organic farming, the lavender is planted, tended, harvested, dried and cleaned in small batches by Girl on the Hill herself.

When the buds are dry, Girl on the Hill mixes them with flaxseed and hand fills pillows and sachets sewn from fabrics she sources on her travels, like cozy cashmere, organic cotton, and luxurious charmeuse silk, duponi silk and silk brocade. Each unique pillow is packaged individually, many in custom boxes made from sustainable kiri wood.

The result is an indulgent, comforting gift for yourself or anyone deserving a beautiful way to reflect, relax and breathe in one of nature’s most soothing scents.
