Description
The Marlow Stripe pillowcase pair is a printed 100% cotton design, sold as two pillowcases. The stripe is the whole point here: a narrow, even run of soft rust-brown lines against a pale ground, the kind of unfussy vertical pattern that sits quietly rather than shouting. Because it is a print rather than a woven-in stripe, the pattern reads consistently across the surface. The cotton is washed, which gives the cloth a relaxed, lived-in handle from the first night rather than the stiffness a brand-new cotton can carry.
These are made for everyday use on a made bed, and the muted, earthy tones make them easy to place. In the photographs they sit alongside a duvet cover in the same stripe and a deeper brown throw, but the palette is calm enough to pair with plain linens, natural woods and rattan just as happily. If you already own a striped set, a spare pair of pillowcases earns its place in the airing cupboard so there is always a clean pair to hand. The vintage blue named in the colourway refers to the wider Marlow range rather than to these cases, which read as cocoa and cream.
Each pillowcase closes with an envelope opening, so the pillow tucks in behind an inner flap and stays put without buttons or ties to catch. The edge is finished with a simple twin-stitch detail, a plain double line of stitching that keeps the hem neat. Being pure cotton, they are breathable and take a wash well, softening a little more with each cycle. Slip them onto standard pillows and let the stripe do the talking against the rest of your bedding.

Frequently Asked
How many pillowcases come in the pack?
This is a pair, so you receive two pillowcases in the Marlow Stripe print, ready to dress a pair of standard pillows.
How do the pillowcases fasten?
Each one has an envelope closure, meaning the pillow slides in and tucks behind an inner flap. There are no buttons or ties to fiddle with.
What are they made of?
They are 100% cotton, which is breathable and absorbent, so it stays comfortable against the skin and washes cleanly time after time.
Will the cotton feel soft straight away?
The cotton is washed during making, which relaxes the fibres, so it has a softer, lived-in handle from the start rather than feeling crisp and new.
Is the stripe woven in or printed?
The stripe is printed onto the cotton, which is why the pattern reads evenly and clearly across the full face of each pillowcase.
