Classique European Pillowcase - Grey Satin Stitch
The Classique European Pillowcase in Grey Satin Stitch is cut from 400TC long-staple cotton sateen with dual grey satin-stitch embroidery on all four sides. A cool, clean neutral that layers quietly behind tailored or king pillowcases for a considered, tonal bed.
Description
Grey softens the vertical structure created by European pillowcases, allowing the backdrop to integrate with the rest of the bed rather than stand apart from it.
The square format still defines the height of the composition, but the tone keeps the effect understated, particularly in layered or tonal settings.

Fabric & construction
The pillowcase
The Classique pillowcases are cut from 400TC single-ply long-staple cotton sateen and sized at 50 × 75cm for a standard Australian pillow insert, 50 × 90cm for King, and 65 × 65cm for European. A top-stitched flange runs close to the embroidered border on all four sides, adding structure to the perimeter without bulk. The envelope closure sits on the reverse, leaving the front uninterrupted. The pillowcase softens progressively with each wash while holding its shape over time.
The embroidery
Two parallel satin-stitch lines in colourfast grey viscose rayon thread run along all four sides of the front face, meeting at each corner in a defined corner motif. The cool neutral tone gives the euro a crisp, restrained border that suits rooms where the palette is built around whites and cool greys. Without a flange, the embroidery sits close to the edge and reads with a clean, graphic quality.
Cool grey on the euro square. The border defines without contrast, structure through detail rather than colour.

Care
Wash cold or warm
30–40°C on a gentle cycle. Use liquid detergent only as powder detergents and fabric softeners coat the cotton fibres and gradually dull the sateen surface and reduce its natural breathability over time.
Tumble dry medium
Remove while still slightly damp. The sateen surface smooths naturally as the fabric cools, reducing the need for ironing. Avoid over-drying as heat-set creases are harder to remove than those from line drying.
Improves with washing
Long-staple cotton settles into the weave with each wash, becoming progressively smoother and softer over time. The viscose rayon embroidery thread is colourfast and maintains its depth wash after wash.
Common questions
Why choose a Grey euro rather than a White one?
A white euro sits quietly behind the pillows in front of it. Grey gives the back layer a defined edge, so the pillows read as separate pieces rather than as one white mass. Grey is the cooler of the Classique neutrals, which holds that definition without warming the palette.
Does the Grey Euro match the White & Grey quilt cover set?
The same Grey embroidery colour is specified across the Classique collection, so the European pillowcase, the quilt cover set and the tailored pillowcases are designed to coordinate.
How should the Grey Euro be washed?
Wash at 30–40°C on a gentle cycle. Use a mild liquid detergent and rinse well. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach and optical brighteners, as repeated use can leave residues or affect the finish of the cotton sateen.
