Worth being clear on this first, because it is the most common mix-up we get: this is the strong blue, and the light blue is a genuinely different product with its own stock, not a paler photograph of this one. Ordering one will never get you the other. If you want the soft pale shade, that is the light blue pillowcase and it lives on its own page.
\nThe blue here is a mid-to-deep tone that reads as a proper colour rather than a pastel. On silk it lifts noticeably where the light hits and sits much darker in the folds, so a made bed shows two or three apparent shades of it at once.
\nBlue is the colour that saves a room where black has turned out too heavy. Against navy or denim bedding it sits in the same family without disappearing into it, and against plain white it reads clean and slightly nautical rather than fussy. Against warm creams and yellows it is harder work, and gold or brown would suit that room better.
\nOn marks it sits mid-range: more forgiving than white, less than black or brown. On fading it does better than red, because blue dyes are among the more stable ones, though direct sun while drying will still soften it over a summer.
\nCold wash, gentle cycle, mild detergent, no bleach, dry out of direct sunlight. As with any strong colour, give it its own first wash.
\n\nEvery colour is the same 100% mulberry silk at 22 momme, 51cm x 76cm, with a hidden zip, and every one costs EUR 49. You can see all eleven together on the mulberry silk pillowcase page. For a lighter and less expensive fabric, the satin silk pillowcase is a different weave rather than a lesser version of this one.
\nSilk is smoother than woven cotton, so hair and skin slide over it instead of catching, and it holds less moisture so it draws less of your moisturiser off overnight. We make no medical, anti-ageing or hypoallergenic claims for it.
