I just found the coolest site, Fabricadabra. They have awesome pillow covers in silk/cotton suzani and ikat prints, among other patterns, at prices that are super-reasonable. On her "About Us" page, the site's curator, Donna, describes her goals and concludes with this:

The carbon footprint isn't low, but where in the States can I find such products and skills?
Here are a couple pretty pillow covers:
