Description
This is a pair of Marlow pillowcases in pure cotton, printed with a soft two-tone stripe. The stripe runs the length of each case, a dusky pink against a paler ground, giving a quiet vertical rhythm rather than a bold pattern. Cotton is the reason these feel the way they do: a breathable natural fibre that stays cool against the skin in summer and holds warmth without clamminess in winter, which is what you want from something your face rests on all night.
A pillowcase pair is the piece that ties a bed together, and this stripe is an easy one to live with. It sits happily with plain white or oatmeal bedding if you want the stripe to lead, and it works alongside a matching striped duvet for a fuller look. The muted tone suits a calm bedroom where you would rather the room settled you than shouted at you, and it reads as gentle warmth rather than a strong colour. Two cases means both sides of a double bed are covered, or a spare for a single sleeper who likes an extra pillow.
Each case is finished with a simple twin-stitch edge and closes with an envelope back, so the pillow tucks in behind a flap and stays put with no buttons or zips to feel through the night. The cotton is a relaxed washed finish, which means it arrives already softened and takes a natural, lived-in crease rather than pressing to a hard flat surface. That softness is part of the look here, so there is no need to fight it with a hot iron. A warm-water wash keeps the colour steady over time.

Frequently Asked
What is the pillowcase made from?
It is 100% cotton, a breathable natural fibre that stays cool and soft against the skin and washes well over repeated use.
How does the pillow stay inside?
Each case has an envelope closure, so the pillow tucks in behind an internal flap with no buttons or zips to feel against your face.
Do I need to iron these?
The cotton has a relaxed washed finish that takes a soft, lived-in crease, so a light press is enough if you prefer a smoother look.
How many pillowcases are in the pack?
This is sold as a pair, so you receive two matching cases, enough for both sides of a double bed or a spare for one sleeper.
Will the stripe match a wider bedding set?
The Marlow stripe is designed to coordinate, so it sits neatly alongside matching striped pieces or plain white and oatmeal bedding.
