Palmeria Velvet Cotton Pillowcase Pair - Navy

The Palmeria pillowcase pair leads with texture. A palm-leaf design is quilted and embroidered into a soft velvet front, so the pattern reads through touch and through the way light catches the raised fronds rather than through print alone. The face is velvet; the reverse is pure cotton. Each cover measures 50 x 75cm, the standard UK housewife pillow size, and the pair is finished with oxford edge borders, the flat fabric surround that frames the quilted centre.

This is a dressing piece as much as a sleeping one. The deep navy and the sculpted palm motif sit well against dark painted walls, warm woods and brass, and they work equally on a plain white duvet where the texture does the talking. Use the pair propped at the head of the bed to build a layered look, or in daily use where the cotton reverse is the side that meets your face. It pairs naturally with the wider Palmeria range if you are building a coordinated set.

The velvet front carries the embroidered, quilted palm pattern; the cotton reverse is chosen so the side against your skin stays cooler and more breathable through the night. Closure is an envelope back, which tucks the pillow in without buttons or a zip and keeps the front face clean. Cotton is a breathable, absorbent natural fibre, which is what makes the reverse the comfortable side to lie on. To keep the velvet pile and the raised embroidery looking their best, treat this as a considered piece rather than everyday rough handling, and enjoy how the quilting shifts with the light across the day.

What is the front made from and what is the reverse?

The front is a soft polyester velvet carrying the embroidered, quilted palm design, and the reverse is 100% cotton, chosen to be the cooler side against your skin.

How does the pillowcase close?

It has an envelope closure, which is an overlapping fabric back that tucks the pillow in without buttons or a zip and keeps the decorative front unbroken.

What size pillow does this fit?

Each cover measures 50 x 75cm, the standard UK housewife pillow size, so it suits a regular rectangular pillow rather than a square continental one.

How many pillowcases are included?

This is sold as a pair, so you receive two matching pillowcases with the same quilted palm front and cotton reverse.

Which side should face outward when dressing the bed?

The velvet palm front is the display side for a layered, textured look, while the cotton reverse is the side many people prefer to sleep against for comfort.
