Classique Tailored Pillowcases - Navy
The Classique Tailored Pillowcase in Navy is cut from 400TC long-staple cotton sateen with dual navy satin-stitch embroidery. The deep, rich thread reads with strong definition against white sateen. A classic combination that holds its crispness wash after wash.
Description
Navy sits as a darker alternative to white without introducing the weight of black. The tone holds depth while still reflecting light across the sateen surface, allowing the embroidery to shift subtly throughout the day rather than reading as a flat block of colour.
It works particularly well in spaces that already carry texture, timber, linen or stone, where the colour adds contrast without breaking the overall palette. The result is a bed that feels grounded but not heavy.

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 viscose rayon thread run along all four sides of the front face, meeting at each corner in a defined corner motif. The surrounding flange is top-stitched just inside the embroidery so the two elements frame the face together. When the bed is made up, the tailored pillowcases continue the bordered embroidery from the quilt cover as a cohesive, unbroken design.
Navy frames the square cleanly. Stacked behind tailored pillowcases, the composition reads as complete.

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
What size pillow insert should I use?
The tailored pillowcase measures 50 × 75 cm and is designed for a standard Australian pillow. Choose an insert close to the intended pillow size rather than significantly oversizing it, as an overfilled pillow can distort the flange and embroidered border.
Can I use Navy pillowcases with a White quilt cover?
Yes. The cloth is identical across the colourways, so only the thread colour changes. The navy then sits as the single point of definition at the head of an otherwise white bed rather than being repeated across it.
Is the embroidery on both sides of the pillowcase?
The embroidered border is worked on the front of the pillowcase. The reverse is plain white cotton sateen with the concealed envelope opening.
