Willow Boughs Reversible Cotton Pillowcase Pair - Natural

This is a pair of pillowcases carrying the Willow Boughs pattern, a leafy botanical design drawn from the William Morris archive. In the photograph the print reads as trailing willow leaves in warm tan and soft brown across a cream ground, and the case reverses to a tonal stripe so you get two looks from one pillowcase. Both cases are made from pure cotton, which is a breathable natural fibre that stays comfortable against the skin and softens with washing.

These are pillowcases for a bedroom that leans toward a country or heritage look, and the reversible design earns its place by giving you a choice each time you make the bed: the full leaf print facing out, or the quieter stripe. They sit happily against plain white linens if you want the pattern to lead, or against other soft neutrals and naturals if you would rather it settle in. The tan and cream palette is easy to build a room around and works as well in a bright modern room as it does in an older cottage bedroom.

Each case is finished with an Oxford border, the flat fabric surround that frames the pillow, and a contrast flat piped trim runs along the edge of that border. The Oxford style gives a more tailored, dressed look than a plain housewife case, so these suit a bed you like to see made up rather than one you strip back to bare pillows. Cotton takes a warm iron well if you want the border crisp, and the fabric handles regular laundering, which matters on something that goes against your face every night. The Willow Boughs name is shared across a wider bedding range, so you can coordinate with a matching duvet cover and fitted sheet if you want the whole bed to read as a set.

What is the pillowcase made from?

Both cases are 100% cotton, a breathable natural fibre that stays comfortable against the skin and grows softer each time you wash it.

Is the pattern on both sides?

No, it is reversible. One side carries the Willow Boughs leaf print and the other reverses to a tonal stripe, so you can choose which shows.

How many pillowcases do I get?

This is sold as a pair, so you receive two matching pillowcases in one purchase, enough to dress both pillows on a standard bed.

What is an Oxford border?

It is the flat fabric surround that frames the pillow, here finished with a contrast flat piped trim, giving a more tailored look than a plain case.

Can I iron these?

Cotton takes a warm iron well, which is worth doing if you want the Oxford border to sit crisp and flat when the bed is made up.

Will these coordinate with other Willow Boughs bedding?

The Willow Boughs name runs across a wider range, so you can pair these with a matching duvet cover and fitted sheet if you want a full set.
