Description
This is a pair of pure cotton pillowcases carrying a thin white pinstripe on a warm tan ground, the shade the supplier calls Demerara Sugar. The stripe is fine and evenly spaced rather than bold, so it reads as texture from across the room and as a considered print up close. Both pillowcases are made from 100% cotton, tumbled to give the cloth a soft, slightly relaxed hand rather than a crisp hotel feel. They are printed rather than woven, which is why the stripe sits cleanly on the surface of the cloth.
A pillowcase pair like this suits a bedroom where you want warmth without a heavy pattern. The tan and white pairs easily with natural woods, cream bed linen and muted, earthy tones, and it works just as well layered under a plain duvet as it does with its matching Linear Stripe cover. If you like a laidback, casual look rather than a formal made bed, the tumbled finish and quiet stripe do that job. Two cases in the pack means you can dress a double or larger bed, or keep one in the wash.
Each case closes with an envelope back, so the pillow tucks inside and stays put without buttons or a zip to feel through the cloth. The edge is finished with a twin row of stitching, a small detail that keeps the seams neat through repeated laundering. Being pure cotton, these wash and dry easily and are naturally breathable, which helps on warmer nights. Cotton takes a warm iron well if you prefer a smooth finish, though the tumbled cloth is forgiving if you would rather leave it relaxed. Pair it with the wider Linear Stripe bedding range to build a complete look.

Frequently Asked
How many pillowcases are in the pack?
This is sold as a pair, so you receive two matching pillowcases, enough to dress a double bed or keep one spare while the other is in the wash.
What are these pillowcases made from?
They are made from 100% cotton, tumbled for a soft, slightly relaxed feel. Cotton is breathable and hard-wearing, which makes it a comfortable choice against the skin.
How does the pillowcase stay closed?
Each case has an envelope closure at the back, meaning the pillow tucks inside a folded flap. There are no buttons or zips to press against your head.
Is the stripe printed or woven?
The stripe is printed onto the cotton, so the white lines sit on the surface of the cloth rather than being woven through the yarn.
How should I care for them?
Being pure cotton, they launder easily and take a warm iron well if you want a crisp finish. The tumbled cloth also looks at home left relaxed.
