Description
The Harriet Gingham pillowcase pair is made from 100% cotton and reverses between two faces. The front carries a printed seersucker finish, which gives the surface a lightly puckered, crinkled texture rather than a flat print, so the small tonal check reads with a soft raised feel under the hand. The reverse is a smooth cotton in the same colourway, so you get one textured side and one plain side on the same pillow. Sold as a pair, both pieces are finished identically.
Gingham is a bedroom classic, and this pink and chocolate check keeps that familiar, homely look while the seersucker front adds something a little more relaxed than a standard cotton case. It suits a bed dressed for comfort rather than formality, and it sits happily beside plain bedding in a matching pink or chocolate. Because the check is small and tonal rather than high-contrast, it works either as the quiet partner to a bolder duvet cover or mixed with other checks and plains for a lived-in, layered look.
Being pure cotton, these cases are breathable and take a warm wash well, and the fabric is garment washed, which is why it feels soft and slightly relaxed straight out of the packet rather than crisp. The seersucker texture is worth knowing about at the ironing stage: the puckered finish is part of the design, so pressing it flat would work against the look these are made for. The two-sided construction lets you turn a pillow over for a smooth face against your cheek while keeping the textured side on show. If you like the check, the wider Harriet Gingham range carries the pattern across coordinating bedding.

Frequently Asked
Are these pillowcases textured on both sides?
No. The front has a printed seersucker finish that feels lightly puckered, while the reverse is smooth cotton, so you can choose which face shows.
What does seersucker mean for how they feel?
Seersucker is a crinkled, textured cotton weave, so the front sits slightly raised off the pillow rather than lying perfectly flat, giving a soft, relaxed surface.
How are they fastened onto the pillow?
Each case has an envelope closure, which is a folded inner flap that holds the pillow securely inside without buttons or a zip.
Do I need to iron them?
The puckered seersucker texture is a deliberate part of the design, so pressing the front flat would remove the very finish these are made to show.
What are they made from?
They are 100% cotton, which is breathable and washes well, and the fabric is garment washed so it feels soft and a little relaxed from the start.
How many pillowcases are in the pack?
This is sold as a pair, so you receive two matching pillowcases finished the same way on both the seersucker front and smooth reverse.
