Description
This is a pair of Birdie Stripe pillowcases in a cotton blend, 60% cotton and 40% polyester, finished with a soft ruffle trim on every edge. The pattern is a broad vertical stripe in two shades of pink, edged along each colour band with a scalloped line that gives the stripe a hand-drawn, wavy character rather than a hard printed rule. The frill runs right around the outside, so the pillow is framed on all four sides. Sold as a pair, this pillowcase set is the pillow half of the wider Birdie Stripe range, which shares the same striped print across its other bedding pieces.
These belong in a bedroom where you want a softer, cottage-inspired look. The pink-on-pink stripe and the ruffle read as gentle rather than loud, so they sit happily against painted headboards, wooden bedframes and plain bedding in cream or a deeper pink pulled from the print. Because the pair coordinates with the rest of the Birdie Stripe range, you can build the bed up piece by piece, or use the pair on their own to lift a plain duvet cover. They suit a made-up display bed as much as everyday use.
The blend matters here: cotton gives the fabric its soft, breathable feel and takes a wash well, while the polyester helps the cloth keep its shape and resist creasing, which is useful on a frilled edge that you do not want to iron flat. The closure is an envelope back, so the pillow tucks in behind an overlapping flap with no buttons or zip to catch on. Shake the ruffle out after washing while the fabric is still damp and it will settle without much fuss. If you like the print, the same stripe carries across the rest of the Birdie Stripe pieces, so the pair is an easy way to start.

Frequently Asked
What are these pillowcases made from?
They are a cotton blend, 60% cotton and 40% polyester. The cotton keeps them soft and breathable while the polyester helps them hold their shape and resist creasing.
How do the pillowcases close?
They use an envelope closure, meaning the pillow tucks in behind an overlapping fabric flap at the back. There are no buttons or zips to press against your head.
Is the ruffle trim on all sides?
Yes, the frill runs right around the outside edge of each pillowcase, so the pillow is framed on all four sides for a full cottage-style look.
How many pillowcases come in the set?
This is sold as a pair, so you receive two matching pillowcases, enough to dress both pillows on a bed with the same print.
Will these match other bedding?
The pink stripe and ruffle sit well with plain cream or deeper pink bedding, and they coordinate with the other pieces in the Birdie Stripe range.
