Know before you buy

To preserve the integrity of the hand block-printing, machine wash the pillowcase on a gentle cycle using cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, and air drying is recommended to keep the linen soft.
Yes, the intricate block-print pattern is applied to both sides of the pillowcase, ensuring a consistent and polished look regardless of how it sits on your bed.
This pillowcase uses a classic envelope closure. This design keeps the pillow securely tucked inside without the need for zippers or buttons, providing a clean, seamless aesthetic.
Because each piece is hand block-printed by artisans, you may notice subtle variations in the print and color. These nuances are a hallmark of the traditional craftsmanship and make each pillowcase a unique piece of functional art.
A knife edge flange is a tailored finish where the two pieces of fabric are sewn together at the seam without an extra border of fabric. It creates a sharp, clean, and modern silhouette that sits flat against your bedding.
