Description:These Coyuchi organic cotton fair trade sateen pillowcases are decorated with hand-sewn tonal embroidery. Rows of ombre shifts of color edge these buttery sateen pillowcases that are silk-like to the touch. Made with 100% certified, fair trade organic cotton, these pillowcases are free of synthetics and toxic chemicals. These organic sateen pillowcases are wrinkle-resistant due to their twill weave. Their soft feel and drape make them an ideal and sensuous cool climate sheet. These pillowcases are designed to coordinate with Coyuchi's ombre sateen flat sheets and classic sateen fitted sheets. One set contains two pillowcases. These sateen pillowcases are made from 100% organic cotton, certified by Control Union Certifiers of the Netherlands, GOTS and ECOCERT of France. This bedding is also Fair trade certified every step of the way from the cotton seed to the finished product. The fair trade certifications are issued by FLO-CERT of Germany and ECOCERT of France. Every fiber of cotton used by Coyuchi is produced in accordance with IFOAM growing and processing standards. SKAL, a Netherlands-based certifier, oversees the cotton grown for Coyuchi. Sateen is a way of weaving threads when producing fabric out of fibers. A sateen weave is achieved by allowing horizontal threads to float over vertical ones – creating a soft, smooth, and shinny surface. The organic cotton fabric is preshrunk using a steam process, resulting in a finished product which keeps its original measurement even after repeated washings. White pillowcases are whitened with hydrogen peroxide rather than chlorine bleach. Ivory pillowcases are not treated, as ivory is the natural color of organic cotton. Because ivory is 100% natural virgin fabric, we recommend this color option for people who prefer untreated fabrics. Please note that there are several differences between pillowcases and shams. Regular and envelope-style pillowcases have an insertion opening for the pillow on the side, whereas shams have an insertion opening on the backside of the sham. Shams are intended for more decorative purposes than pillowcases. Please also note that the envelope pillowcases have a bigger flap opening than a regular pillowcase. This is because additional fabric is needed to tuck in the envelope pillowcase to enclose and protect the pillow, whereas the regular pillowcase remains open. Available Colors: White with Indigo, and Pewter with Mustard (One set contains two pillowcases) Pillowcase Dimensions (Open-ended traditional style):
Product Features:
These sateen pillowcases are machine washable. We recommend using warm water, non-phosphate soap in the washing cycle, and a cool, no/low-heat tumble or line dry. The best way to dry, in our opinion, is to hang dry your Coyuchi products on a clothesline outside, capturing and bringing the magic of the outside back in. Wash with like items, wash whites and colors separately. For white fabrics, we suggest using non-chlorine bleach. Tumble dry low heat or line dry. The use of bleaching agents may diminish the brilliance and depth of the colors, so we recommend not using any whiteners. But if you must, please use a non-chlorine bleach. |
