Mulberry Silk Pillowcase, 19 Momme, Envelope Closure

A smooth 19-momme mulberry silk pillowcase with a hidden envelope closure

This is a single pillowcase made of 100% mulberry silk, woven in a satin weave that gives the surface a soft, even sheen. It weighs 19 momme and is double-sided, so the silk faces you on both sides of the pillow.

Instead of a zip it has an envelope closure: the pillow tucks in under a flap at the back, so nothing scratches your face or catches your hair. It comes in three grey tones and two sizes, sold one per order.

At a glance

The piece: one pillowcase, simply made

You get one pillowcase per order. The pillow form you see in the photos is only for styling and is not included. The supplier states the fabric is 100% mulberry silk at 19 momme, with a satin weave and silk on both sides.

The closure is an envelope flap on one short end. You slide your pillow in, fold the flap over the end, and tuck it in. There is no zip, no buttons and no visible fastener on the outside, so the surface stays smooth all around.

Who it's for

For you if you want to try a silk pillowcase without buying a pair or paying for a named brand. It suits anyone who prefers a smooth surface against their face and hair, and who likes a clean, unbranded look on the bed.

If you usually sleep on a standard 50 x 70 cm pillow, pick Grey or Silver. If your pillow is 60 x 70 cm, Charcoal is the option for that size. Order two if you want a matching pair.

Fabric and feel: 19 momme mulberry silk, satin weave

The supplier states the fabric is 100% mulberry silk, 19 momme, with a satin weave.

Satin weave gives the surface a smooth, slightly shiny face and a duller back, but because this pillowcase is double-sided, both sides have the satin finish. The supplier makes no claim about skin or hair effects, and we do not add any.

There is no certificate on file for this pillowcase. We only state what the supplier declares.

Size and fit: two sizes by colour

Grey and Silver come in 50 x 70 cm, the most common pillow size in the Netherlands. Charcoal comes in 60 x 70 cm, a wider size often used with body pillows or larger bed pillows. Each size is made to fit a pillow of that same measurement.

The envelope flap holds the pillow in place without pulling the corners. The fabric weighs about 100 g per pillowcase, which gives it a substantial but not heavy hand.

Styling on the bed

Charcoal is the darkest, a deep slate grey that pairs well with white, cream or charcoal sheets. Grey is a true medium grey, easy with navy, beige or white. Silver is the lightest, a pale cool grey that reads almost white in bright light.

Because the closure is hidden, the pillow looks neat from every angle when you turn it over.

Where it fits

Use it on your everyday bed, keep a spare for guests, or take one when you travel and want a familiar surface to sleep on. It also makes a simple gift for someone who likes quiet, well-made bedroom basics.

Care: follow the label, or hand wash cold

The supplier data has no care instructions, so follow the sewn-in label first. As general advice for silk: hand wash cold with a gentle detergent made for silk, do not wring, and lay it flat to dry out of direct sun.

Wash it separately the first few times, and avoid rubbing the fabric against zips or rough surfaces that could pull the threads.

The wow detail: double-sided satin, no zip to catch on

Many silk pillowcases have a satin face and a plain back, or a zip that runs along one edge. This one is satin on both sides, so it does not matter which way you turn the pillow in the night, and the envelope closure means there is nothing hard or scratchy near your face.
