Pink pillowcase… or another colour or print?

Are you swaying towards the purchase of a pure silk pillowcase to care for your skin and hair? If that answer’s yes, then one thing you may need to know about before buying is what colours are available.

Can you buy pink in the UK, for instance? Deep pink or light pink? What about baby blue or deep, dark navy? Contemporary charcoal or monochrome tones like bright white or classic black?

If you’d prefer to add a pop of pattern to your boudoir, then what about printed patterns? Are they available here in the UK, or will you have to wait for the one of your choice to be sent from overseas? Possibly incurring customs fees in the process that you’ll have to pay?..

To assist with your decision, here’s an outline of the full range of pillowcases offered here. Including plain colours and stylish patterns. There may be a pink one or three thrown in there…

Pink pillowcases

We offer both a light pink and a dark pink silk pillowcase. These are super soft, and would complement any bedroom that’s decorated with blush tones. Both are some of the most popular styles we sell.

Here at the office we’ve noticed that the light pink is in fact one of the softest of the range. This, according to our supplier, is because relatively little dye is required to achieve this colour.

Of course all silk is ultra smooth and soft. The baby pink shade is just extra super soft (as is the undyed ivory option).

A sleek darker pink pillowcase, meanwhile, is suited to those who love deeper colours.

Blue shades

If blue silk is more your style, then you’ll love our light blue, dark blue and sky blue silk pillowcases. The light one is a baby or soft sky blue, while the dark blue is a rich shade of subtle shimmering navy.

Green colours

While our aqua one is arguably more akin to blue than green, the jade silk we sell is definitely the one to go for when green is your favourite colour. This is no ordinary green, though - it’s a glorious jade green that speaks of tropical oceans and exotic, Eastern locations.

Ivory silk choices

If you want something that’s been processed as little as possible, then order yourself an ivory. This undyed shade varies very slightly each time, making each pillowcase a unique shade that lies somewhere between white and cream on the colour spectrum.

For the softest silk, you cannot beat a natural ivory one. This is because the lack of dyes results in the smoothest, sleekest silk possible.

White the clasic colour for bedrooms

If you want pure white, then go for our gently bleached white silk pillowcases. As you can see, ivory is the silk’s natural hue, so very little processing is needed to take the tone down just a notch.

We also offer a king-size white silk

Grey is a popular shade

Our grey pillowcases come in a dark charcoal shade and a lighter, more silvery hue. These are probably the most contemporary picks, which is why they seem to fly out the moment we take delivery of a new batch.

The lighter grey is so popular that it’s also available in king size.

Black silk

Take things a step further by treating yourself to a black pillowcase. This one looks great with industrial style decor, or any bedlinen with black in the pattern.

Many people adore the black pillowcases, not least those who prefer monochrome tones. As well as those who would rather their pillowcase remained entirely mark-free between washes.

Neutral shades

Apart from grey and ivory, other neutral tones that go well with anything include our taupe We’d describe it as the colour of a delicious latte, and it’s a shade that speaks of style and taste in abundance.

If you want to ramp things up a notch from taupe, how about trying gold? There’s no metal involved at all, of course, but the shade sure does bring to mind that glimmering, luxurious precious material.  

We fully appreciate that taupe and gold look similar in the pictures - they do in real life, too! The taupe is a browner kind of hue, while the gold is lighter, yet with warmer, more yellowish tones.

Another option for those seeking ‘metallic’ colours is the grey one, which looks very similar in colour to silver, platinum or titanium.

Animal print pillowcases

We’ve already touched on our pink and black leopard print pillowcase - but did you know we also offer snake and zebra patterns?

Our tie dye pattern is actually our personal favourite, which is why we saved the best till last. Who can resist those gorgeous rainbow hues all merging together in this incredibly appealing way?

Every tie dye pillowcase is unique too, due to the dyeing process. If you’re no fan of neutrals, then this could be the dream one to invest in.

Just make sure you dry it out of the sun after machine washing at 30 degrees - no one would want those glorious colours to fade by even the tiniest bit!

What’s surprising is that it actually goes well with pretty much any decor. It adds a pop of colour where required, or enhances the pink, aqua, peach, red purple, blue, lilac or green tones within your bed linen or on the walls.
