Blue striped pillowcase Complete your bedding with this striped Aegean-style pillowcase. The pillowcase is made from fine off-white cotton from Turkey. The pattern consists of wide blue bands and narrow, reddish-brown and lime-yellow stripes, perfectly matching the accompanying duvet cover. This type of traditional fabric was originally used for bed sheets in Turkey and Greece. The striped design was created by us and inspired by these traditions. Because the cotton fabric feels wonderfully light and soft, it is ideal for a comfortable night's sleep. The fabrics for our pillowcases are woven on authentic, traditional looms. This artisanal process gives each individual pillowcase a unique character. Washing instructions and shrinkage Good to know: the pillowcase is slightly oversized at first. We designed it this way because the cotton shrinks during the first wash. After washing, the pillowcase will be the exact right size. Additionally, washing makes the fabric less sheer and extra soft.
