Pillowcases

Sometimes the simplest things are the best. Peter Reed’s classic Hemstitch has remained unchanged for decades. 100% Linen Union with a solitary row of hemstitch around the border and packaged with their Red Ribbon. Perfect. Their Linen Union is made from a mix of 60% linen and 40% Egyptian cotton, at 160 grams per square metre.

Peter Reed ‘Oxford style’ pillowcases are sewn with traditional mitred corners throughout. Their construction requires assembly of three separate pieces of fabric and skilful sewing. The end result is a flange which supports itself at the corners when placed on the bed, unlike the simpler ‘mock’ Oxford construction which can give a ‘rabbit ear’ effect.

Labelling & Laundering Care
All Peter Reed linens are labelled with European and US standard washing instructions, and also include a generic size sewn-in label for easy identification and housekeeping. Cotton should be washed at as high a temperature as possible and, for best results, with a low concentrate detergent. Ironing is recommended whilst the fabric is damp.
