Silver is the colour people order when they have looked at black and thought it too much, and at white and thought it too plain. On silk it does not behave like a flat grey. The weave reflects, so the same dye that would look like dull stone on cotton reads as a soft metallic here, lighter where the light hits and considerably deeper in the folds.
\nThat movement is the whole appeal. A silver case on a made bed does not sit as one solid block of colour the way a matt fabric does, and it changes noticeably between morning and evening light.
\nSilver is the easiest colour in the range to place. It sits properly against grey and navy bedding, where a pure white case often looks like it arrived from a different set entirely. It also works against white without the flat sameness of white on white, which is the usual reason people go looking for a second colour.
\nAgainst warm tones, cream, camel or a lot of wood, it can read slightly cold. Brown or gold suit those rooms better.
\nOn marks it sits exactly in the middle: better than white, not as forgiving as black or brown. Mid-tones generally do. It fades slower than the deep colours because there is less pigment to lose, and it holds up well to weekly washing on a cold gentle cycle.
\nIf you are buying a pair, silver with black is the combination we send out most often, and silver with white is the quieter version of the same idea.\n\n
Every 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.
