Description
The Birdie Stripe pillowcase pair is a printed cotton blend with a bold vertical stripe and a scalloped, zig-zag edge running down each stripe. The two colours are a soft buttermilk cream and a deep chocolate brown, set out in broad alternating bands. What sets these apart is the gathered ruffle that frames each pillowcase, a full frill trim that gives the pair their cottage-inspired character. The cloth is a 60% cotton, 40% polyester mix, chosen so the fabric stays soft to the touch while holding its shape and resisting creasing better than pure cotton would.
This is a pillowcase pair rather than a single, so you have both sides of the bed covered from one purchase. The warm brown and cream palette sits comfortably in a bedroom that leans traditional or country in feel, and the ruffle detail pairs naturally with layered bedding, checked throws and painted wooden furniture. Because the stripe is a repeating vertical, the pair reads calmly across a made bed rather than fussing it, and the frilled edge softens the line where the pillow meets the headboard. It suits anyone building a relaxed, homely look rather than a stark modern one.
The cloth is printed rather than woven, so the pattern sits on one face and the design is consistent across the pair. Each case closes with an envelope opening, which tucks the pillow in behind an overlapping flap and keeps it in place without buttons or a zip to feel through the fabric. The cotton in the blend brings breathability and a comfortable feel against the skin, while the polyester content helps the cases keep their crispness wash after wash. Style them with plain bedding to let the stripe lead, or with a coordinating check to build the fuller cottage look.

Frequently Asked
What is the fabric made from?
These pillowcases are a cotton blend, 60% cotton and 40% polyester, which gives you the soft, breathable feel of cotton with the crease resistance and shape retention that polyester adds.
How many pillowcases do I get?
This is a pair, so you receive two matching pillowcases, enough to dress both pillows on a bed or to keep one as a spare.
How do the pillowcases fasten?
Each case has an envelope closure, which means the pillow tucks in behind an overlapping fabric flap with no buttons or zip to feel through the case.
What is the ruffle trim like?
A gathered frill runs around the edge of each pillowcase, giving a soft, cottage-style border that frames the striped centre and softens the pillow against the headboard.
What colours are the stripes?
The stripes alternate between a warm buttermilk cream and a deep chocolate brown, with a scalloped zig-zag line running down each brown band.
