Know before you buy
The sham measures 20 inches by 26 inches, which is the standard size for most pillows.
Yes. The blend of linen and cotton is naturally breathable, making it an excellent choice for those who tend to overheat at night.
Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, tumble dry on low, and remove promptly to prevent wrinkling.
Because it is made from a linen-cotton blend, you may use a warm iron if you prefer a crisp look, though the pre-washed finish is designed to feel soft and relaxed right out of the dryer.
It features a convenient envelope closure, which keeps the pillow securely tucked inside without the need for buttons or zippers.
The sham is crafted using a yarn-dyed jacquard process, which weaves the color directly into the fabric rather than printing it on top. This ensures the design remains rich and vibrant through repeated washes.
