Hebden Reversible Cotton Pillowcase Pair - Espresso Brown

The Hebden pillowcase pair is a printed melange stripe in espresso brown on cream, made from 100% cotton. It arrives as a pair, so both sides of the bed are dressed from a single purchase. The stripe is reversible: one face carries the bolder brown-and-cream bars you can see across the front of the pillow, and the reverse turns the same idea into a finer, quieter stripe, which gives you two looks from the one case. The cotton is garment-washed, which is what gives the cloth its soft, slightly tumbled handle straight out of the packet rather than after a dozen washes.

These sit well in a relaxed, layered bedroom. The muted brown reads as a warm neutral, so it works alongside natural woods, soft pinks and undyed linen textures without competing with them. Because the design is a simple stripe rather than a large motif, it holds its own whether you square the pillows up formally or let them slouch against the headboard. Use the bolder face when you want the stripe to lead and the finer reverse when you want the bed to settle down. The pair pattern-matches, so a made bed looks considered rather than accidental.

Each case closes with an envelope opening, which keeps the pillow tucked in with no buttons or ties to press against your head, and finishes with an oxford border, the flat sewn frame around the edge that gives the case its neat, tailored outline. Cotton is breathable and takes a warm wash and a hot iron happily, so these are made for regular laundering. If you are building the wider Hebden look, the matching stripe runs across the range for a coordinated bed.

Is the stripe the same on both sides of the pillowcase?

No. It is reversible, with a bolder brown-and-cream stripe on one face and a finer, quieter stripe on the other, giving you two looks from one case.

What does garment-washed cotton feel like?

Garment-washed cotton has a soft, slightly tumbled and relaxed handle from the outset, rather than the crisper feel of an unwashed weave, so it feels lived-in straight away.

How does the envelope closure work?

The pillow slides in through an overlapping opening at the back that tucks the pillow away, with no buttons or ties to feel against your head while you sleep.

What is the oxford border?

It is the flat sewn frame stitched around the edge of the case, which gives it a neat, tailored outline and a slightly more finished look than a plain housewife pillowcase.

How many pillowcases are included?

This is a pair, so you receive two matching pillowcases, enough to dress both sides of a bed or to layer up on one side.
