Know before you buy

This product is a pillow cover only. You will need to provide a 22” x 22” insert to achieve the desired look and feel.
The fabric has been pre-washed, but due to the antique nature of the materials, we recommend spot cleaning or professional dry cleaning to preserve the integrity of the vintage fibers and indigo dye.
