Classique Tailored Pillowcases - Ebony
The Classique Tailored Pillowcase in Ebony is cut from 400TC long-staple cotton sateen with dual black satin-stitch embroidery. The high-contrast border is the sharpest expression of the Classique design, graphic and precise, with the satin thread's sheen set against a white cotton ground.
Description
Ebony is the sharpest reading of the Classique border. Black against white cotton sateen leaves no ambiguity in the line, so the two rows of satin stitch and the corner motifs are seen as drawing rather than as texture.
It suits a bed that is meant to hold focus. Where a softer tone settles into a room, this one defines the edge of the pillowcases against everything around them, which works best when the rest of the palette stays quiet.

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 black viscose rayon thread run along all four sides of the front face, meeting at each corner in a defined corner motif. The high-contrast border is the most graphic expression within the Classique collection, precise and deliberate against the white cotton fabric, with the satin thread's sheen adding depth to the stitch.
Black on white is the sharpest reading of the Classique border. The pillowcases carry it fully.

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 does the embroidery run around all four sides of the pillowcase?
The four-sided border allows the embroidery to frame the entire pillow rather than appearing only at the opening. Corner motifs finish each junction, while the surrounding flange gives the pillowcase enough structure to hold the border clearly on the bed.
Will black pillowcases look too strong on an otherwise white bed?
The black is a line rather than a field, so it defines the pillows instead of darkening the bed. On white sateen a pair of Ebony pillowcases reads as a drawn rectangle at the head of the bed. For a softer effect, use them with a plain white quilt cover rather than the matching Ebony set.
Are Classique tailored pillowcases sold as a pair?
Yes. Tailored pillowcases are sold as a pair, and King pillowcases are also sold as a pair. European pillowcases are the exception and are sold individually.
