Mulberry Silk Mint Green Pillowcase | 100% Silk Mint Green Pillow Case | Silk Mint Green Pillow Slip

Cool and pale. It reads as a soft sage in daylight and greys off slightly under a warm bulb.

It is the least common choice in the range, which is most of its appeal if you would rather not have the same bed as everyone else.

White, natural linen and pale wood. Against a warm yellow light it loses some of its coolness.

Identical: 22 momme mulberry silk, 51cm x 76cm, same price. Only the dye differs.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, mulberry silk on both faces. There is no cotton or polyester backing, which is what some cheaper 'silk' pillowcases do.

It is 51cm x 76cm, which is the standard European and UK pillow size. A continental square 65cm x 65cm pillow will not fit.

A hidden zip along one edge, so nothing shows and the pillow stays in.

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.

No. Hang it to dry away from direct heat and sunlight. Silk dries quickly and heat is what shortens its life.

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.

Not if you wash it cold. Hot water is the risk with any natural fibre.

About as often as a cotton pillowcase, so once a week or so. Cold gentle washing does not wear silk out.

A mild one, ideally a silk detergent. No bleach, and nothing with optical brighteners or enzymes, which are what actually damage silk.

Years with cold washing and shade drying. Heat, bleach and direct sunlight are what age silk, in that order.

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.

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.

One pillowcase sits under the €75 threshold, so delivery is €25 unless you add something else. Two clear it and ship free.

Yes, 14 days from delivery to change your mind under EU consumer law, unused and in resaleable condition.

A soft mint rather than a deep or an olive green. It is one of the gentler colours in the range.

It sits well with white and with pale wood, and it is often bought for a spare room or a summer bed.

No. It reads as a tint rather than a statement, closer to the light blue in weight than to the gold.

It is pale enough that makeup shows sooner than on the deep colours. It washes out cold.

Soft tones fade slowly and evenly. Shade drying keeps it.

White, or the lavender for a pale pairing.
