Know before you buy
These pillowcases have a distinct, textured hand-feel that is much more relaxed than crisp cotton. Because they are stonewashed, they arrive with a soft, lived-in quality that continues to get even smoother and more supple with every wash.
Yes. French flax linen is naturally breathable and moisture-wicking, making it an excellent choice for temperature regulation throughout the night. It helps keep you cool in the summer and comfortable during colder months.
The ties are designed to keep your pillow securely tucked inside the case while adding a decorative, relaxed aesthetic to your bedding. They are durable and easy to knot, ensuring your pillow stays in place without the bulk of a traditional zipper or envelope flap.
The Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certification ensures that every component of the pillowcase has been tested for harmful substances. This guarantees that the fabric is free from toxic chemicals, making it a safe and healthy choice for your skin and home.
These pillowcases are machine washable, which makes maintenance simple. We recommend washing them in cool water with a gentle detergent and tumble drying on low or line drying to preserve the integrity of the flax fibers.
