Made from 100% Egyptian cotton, these pillow cases are woven by Peter Reed Limited, crafters of luxury bed linen since 1861 and holders of a Royal Warrant of Appointment to Her Majesty The Queen. Sourced from the Nile Delta, where the rich alluvial soil and high humidity yield impeccably soft yet durable long-staple fibers, the Egyptian cotton is breathable, free of dust-attracting static, and becomes softer with each wash. Prior to spinning, the cotton is hand-combed by artisans who remove short yarns and select only the longest cotton fibers from the harvest, enhancing the softness of the bed linen. The 400-thread count pillow cases are bleached gently with chlorite and soft water, yielding a pure white fabric that will not yellow with age like textiles bleached with peroxide. Two Standard pillowcases.
