Know before you buy
The stonewashing process gives the cotton a soft, lived-in feel right out of the package, removing the initial stiffness often associated with new percale. This treatment creates a relaxed, matte aesthetic that continues to soften with every wash.
These shams feature a crisp, breathable percale weave that feels cool to the touch, making them ideal for year-round use. Unlike standard cotton, the long-staple organic fibers used here are more durable and resistant to pilling over time.
Yes, they are both GOTS and Oeko-Tex certified. This ensures the cotton is grown organically without harmful pesticides and that the finished product is tested to be free from toxic chemicals.
To maintain the quality of the fabric, machine wash the shams in warm water and tumble dry on a low setting. The material is designed to be low-maintenance and will naturally soften further with regular laundering.
Yes, each sham features a 2/3-inch flange trim, which adds a tailored, decorative border that helps the pillow sit neatly on your bed.
Absolutely. The collection is available in a curated palette of eight hues designed to coordinate easily. Because of the relaxed, stonewashed texture, the colors have a subtle, earthy quality that pairs well with both neutral and vibrant bedding sets.
