Frequently Asked Questions
Is the pink bright or soft?
Soft. It is a dusty tone rather than a hot pink, so it sits quietly against white or cream instead of dominating.
Is pink a good gift?
Yes. It pairs well with the silk eye mask.
Will pink fade?
Wash it cold and dry it out of direct sun and it holds. Sunlight is what pulls colour from a dyed silk.
Does pink suit a grown-up bedroom?
The dusty tone is why it does. A brighter pink would read as a child's room; this one does not.
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. This pillowcase is 22 momme.
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. Wash it cold and gently.
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?
We do not promise a lifespan. Heat, bleach and direct sunlight are what age silk, so wash it cold and dry it in the shade.
Is it hypoallergenic?
We make no such 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. We make no skin, hair or anti-ageing claim for it.
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 pink is it?
A soft blush rather than a hot or a candy pink. It is closer to a neutral than most people expect.
Is it too much for a shared bed?
It reads as a warm neutral in most rooms rather than as a statement colour.
Does it work with white bedding?
Yes, and that is the most common pairing. Against cream it warms up further.
Does it show marks?
It is pale, so makeup shows sooner than on the deep colours. Cold water handles it.
Will it fade?
Blush tones fade gently. Direct sun is the thing to avoid, not the washing machine.
Which colour do people pair it with?
White, or lavender for a pale bed.

Buying Guide
6 min readSilk Pyjamas Europe
A dusty pink, not a bright one
The pink here is muted and slightly grey-based rather than clear or hot. That matters more than it sounds. A bright pink pillowcase reads as a child's room almost regardless of what it sits on. This one does not: against white or cream bedding it behaves like a soft neutral with a bit of warmth, and it is quiet enough to leave on the bed permanently rather than as a seasonal thing.
On silk the tone also sits deeper in the folds and lifts where the light catches, so it does not read as one flat block of colour the way a matt pink would.
The gift colour
If you are buying it as a present, perhaps alongside the silk eye mask, it is worth knowing the pillowcase ships in our standard packaging rather than a gift box, and that we sell embroidery separately if you want initials on it.
Practical notes
Pale and mid pinks hold their colour well, better than the deep reds, because there is less pigment to lose. Wash it cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and dry it out of direct sunlight. It shows marks a little more than the dark colours and considerably less than white.
If you want the same softness in a cooler tone, lavender is the closest thing in the range, and mint green is the coolest of the lot.
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 less expensive fabric, the satin pillowcase is a different weave rather than a lesser version of this one.
We make no skin, hair, medical, anti-ageing or hypoallergenic claims for it.
