100% Mulberry Silk Pillowcases, Set of 2 – 22 Momme, Champagne

As seen inBritish Vogue · Tatler · Grazia

Two pillowcases in 22-momme mulberry silk, in a soft champagne that warms a bedroom rather than brightening it. Twenty-two momme is the weight sleep specialists settle on — substantial enough to feel like cloth rather than film, fine enough to stay cool through the night.

Silk earns its place here for a plainly mechanical reason: cotton grips. It catches hair at the cuticle and holds skin in a fold for hours at a time, which is where overnight frizz and morning sleep-creases come from. Silk lets both slide. It is also far less absorbent than cotton, so it draws less moisture from your skin — and less of whatever you put on it before bed.

Care. Hand-wash cool, or machine-wash inside a mesh bag on a delicates cycle, and dry away from direct heat. Silk is a protein fibre, so it wants cool water and a gentle detergent — the full method is in our guide to washing silk so it lasts 20 years. If it arrives folded, our guide to getting creases out of silk has it sorted in fifteen minutes.

Woven in Hangzhou, the historic silk capital of China, where the world's fine bedding silk is made. Our hand-dyed scarves and dresses are made by artisans in Nha Xa, Vietnam — we source each piece where the craft for it lives.
