Frequently Asked Questions
Is the brown dark or light?
A warm chocolate rather than a beige. It is the closest thing we stock to a neutral that is not grey.
Does brown hide marks?
Yes, along with black it is the most forgiving of hair products and night creams between washes.
What bedding does brown suit?
Cream, camel and natural linen, and wooden bedheads. Against a cool grey it can look muddy.
Is brown an unusual choice?
It is less common than black or white, and it is the one people pick when they want warmth without colour.
Is this the same pillowcase as the other colours?
Yes. Every colour in the range is the same 100% mulberry silk at 22 momme, 51cm x 76cm, with the same hidden zip and the same price. Only the colour differs.
What does 22 momme mean?
It is how silk weight is measured, the way thread count is used for cotton. Lighter silk around 16 momme feels thin and wears sooner at the seams; heavier silk above 25 momme costs a good deal more. 22 sits where most people want it.
Is it real silk?
Yes, 100% mulberry silk on both faces. Satin is a weave rather than a fibre, so a satin pillowcase is often polyester. We sell that separately and it is a different fabric, not a cheaper version of this.
What size is it and how does it close?
51cm x 76cm, which fits a standard European or UK pillow, with a hidden zip along one edge so the pillow stays inside and nothing presses against your face.
Can I machine wash it?
Yes. Cold water, gentle cycle, mild detergent, no bleach, then line dry or tumble dry on low. Wash a strong colour separately the first time.
Will the colour fade?
Not quickly, if you wash it cold and keep it out of direct sun to dry. Hot water and sunlight are what pull colour out of dyed silk.
Is the silk the same on both sides?
Yes, mulberry silk on both faces. There is no cotton or polyester backing, which is what some cheaper 'silk' pillowcases do.
Will it fit my pillow?
It is 51cm x 76cm, which is the standard European and UK pillow size. A continental square 65cm x 65cm pillow will not fit.
How does it close?
A hidden zip along one edge, so nothing shows and the pillow stays in.
Does the zip scratch?
It sits inside a fabric flap rather than against your face. It is the reason a zip is better than an envelope closure on a pillowcase you sleep on.
Can it go in the tumble dryer?
No. Hang it to dry away from direct heat and sunlight. Silk dries quickly and heat is what shortens its life.
Does it need ironing?
Rarely. If you want it flat, iron on the reverse at a cool setting. A hot iron glazes silk and the mark does not come out.
Will it shrink?
Not if you wash it cold. Hot water is the risk with any natural fibre.
How often should I wash it?
About as often as a cotton pillowcase, so once a week or so. Cold gentle washing does not wear silk out.
What detergent should I use?
A mild one, ideally a silk detergent. No bleach, and nothing with optical brighteners or enzymes, which are what actually damage silk.
How long will it last?
Years with cold washing and shade drying. Heat, bleach and direct sunlight are what age silk, in that order.
Is it hypoallergenic?
We make no such claim. Silk is a natural protein fibre and many people with easily irritated skin prefer it, which is a preference rather than a tested claim. Anyone with a diagnosed silk allergy should avoid it.
Will it stop wrinkles or help my skin?
No, and we have taken that claim off this site. Silk is smoother than cotton so it catches less on skin and hair. That is a real and modest difference and it is all we will say.
How much is delivery?
One pillowcase sits under the €75 threshold, so delivery is €25 unless you add something else. Two clear it and ship free.
Can I return it?
Yes, 14 days from delivery to change your mind under EU consumer law, unused and in resaleable condition.
What shade of brown is it?
A warm mid brown rather than a chocolate or a taupe. It reads richer where the light catches the sheen.
Does brown work with modern bedding?
It suits cream, oatmeal and other warm neutrals better than it suits a cool grey and white bed.
Is brown a popular choice?
It is one of the quieter sellers in the range, which is exactly why some people pick it: it does not look like everyone else's bed.
Does it show marks?
Less than the pale colours and more than black. It is a forgiving middle.
Will it fade?
Warm mid tones fade gently rather than obviously. Dry it out of direct sun.
Which colour do people pair it with?
Gold, for a warm bed, or white to lift it.

A warm neutral that is not grey
Brown here is a proper warm chocolate rather than a beige or a taupe, and it is the closest thing in the range to a neutral that does not go cold. Most neutral bedding drifts towards grey; this does not, which is why it suits rooms with a lot of wood, camel or cream in them where silver and black both read too hard.
On silk the depth shows in the folds and the warmth lifts at the surface, so it carries more life than a matt brown would. It is a quiet colour that does not look cheap, which is a harder combination to find than it sounds.
The forgiving one
Along with black, brown is the most practical colour we sell. Hair oil, night cream and the general residue of a face on a pillow simply do not show on it between washes. If you have looked at white, liked it, and then thought about your skincare routine, brown is the compromise that does not feel like one.
What it does not suit
Cool grey rooms. Against a blue-grey duvet brown tends to look muddy rather than warm, and silver or light blue would sit far better. It also competes with a strongly orange wood rather than complementing it, so it works best with mid and dark timbers.
Care
A deep dye, so treat it like the black: cold water, mild detergent, no bleach, dry out of direct sun. Sunlight is what turns a rich brown dusty over time, and nothing in your washing machine will do it faster than a summer on the line.
The rest of the range
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.
Silk 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.
