Card payments are handled by Stripe, and we also accept PayPal. Both are taken on the payment provider's own secure page, so we never see your card details.

Every price on this site is in pounds sterling (GBP) and includes VAT.

We ship within the UK only. Delivery is free on orders of £75 or more; below that it is a flat £25. Express delivery is available at £25 as a paid upgrade if you want it above the free threshold. Allow 5 to 7 days after a 24 to 48 hour handling time.

Yes. A receipt is emailed to you as soon as payment goes through, and a second email follows with a tracking number once your parcel is on its way.

No, we sell online only and hold no retail premises. That is a large part of why the prices are what they are.

Yes. You have 14 days from delivery to change your mind under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, with no fee and no reason needed; you pay only the cost of sending it back. Beyond that we still accept change-of-mind returns up to 15 days from purchase, where a £29 handling charge applies. If an item arrives faulty, damaged or not as described we put it right at no cost to you, return postage included. Full detail is on our refunds and returns page.

You get a dispatch email with a tracking number the moment the parcel leaves the warehouse. You can follow it from our track your parcel page.

Almost certainly not. Deliveries take 5 to 7 days after a 24 to 48 hour handling time, so anything inside about ten days is normal. Check the tracking number in your dispatch email first, and if it has not moved for several days email us with your order number and we will chase it.

Using a Mulberry Silk Black Pillowcase not only adds a touch of luxury to your bedding but also offers benefits like reduced hair frizz and a smoother, cooler sleep surface.

Yes, a 100% Silk Black Pillowcase is gentle on sensitive skin. Its smooth surface means skin and hair catch on it less than on cotton.

A Silk Black Pillowslip provides a cool and comfortable sleep surface. Its natural temperature-regulating properties help you sleep better and wake up refreshed.

Yes, a Mulberry Silk Black Pillowcase reduces hair friction and tangling, making it ideal for extending the life of your hair extensions and preserving your styled hair.

Silk is a smooth, tightly woven fibre, so it catches less on skin and hair than cotton does. We make no allergy or medical claim for it, and anyone with a diagnosed silk allergy should avoid it.

To care for your Silk Black Pillowslip, follow the care instructions provided by the manufacturer. Typically, it involves gentle hand washing or using a delicate cycle with mild detergent.

Silk is smoother than cotton, so your face and hair move across it with less friction and it draws less moisture out of skin overnight. We make no medical or cosmetic claim for it.

A true flat black rather than a charcoal or a very dark grey. Under a bedside lamp the charmeuse weave gives it a sheen, so it reads as black satin rather than as matte cloth.

Far less than on any other colour we sell. That is the practical reason most people choose black: an oil mark that would be obvious on the white or the silver is invisible here between washes.

Not at the cold temperatures silk needs. Wash it cold, on its own the first time if you want to be certain, and never with anything white.

Dark dyes fade fastest in direct sunlight. Dry it in the shade and it holds. A black pillowcase left on a sunny windowsill will go grey-brown before a pale one shows anything.

It disappears into dark bedding and it makes a strong graphic line against white sheets. The one thing it does not do is blend into pale bedding, so it reads as a deliberate choice rather than a match.

It is our single best selling colour. Most people buy it for the practical reason above rather than for the look.

Mascara on silk needs cold water and a silk detergent, worked gently rather than rubbed. Black is the most forgiving colour for it because a faint residual mark does not show.

Yes. Same 22 momme mulberry silk, same 51cm x 76cm, same GBP 39. Only the colour is different, and we would rather say so than pretend eleven products.

Both hide marks. Black is cooler and more graphic; brown is warmer and sits better with wood and with cream bedding. If your room is grey and white, black. If it is warm and wooden, brown.

Less than a pale colour, because there is no shadow contrast to catch the eye. Silk creases; black is the colour where you notice it least.

No, not at cold wash temperatures. Wash it separately the first time if you want to be sure, which is sensible advice for any new dark textile.

51cm x 76cm, which is the standard UK pillow. It will not fit a continental square or a king size pillow.

A hidden zip rather than an envelope flap, so the pillow stays in and nothing shows.

The satin pillowcase is GBP 22 and comes in a black too. It is a polyester weave rather than mulberry silk, so it looks similar and does not breathe the same way.

51cm x 76cm, which is the standard UK pillow, with a hidden zip. On a black pillowcase the zip matters more than on the pale ones: an envelope flap on a dark cloth shows every fold line.

No, and we would rather be straight about it. One pillowcase, eleven colours, all 22 momme mulberry silk at 51cm x 76cm and all GBP 39. Black is the one people buy for practical reasons rather than for the look.

Most people who buy black buy two, because the whole point of it is not thinking about marks, and one in the wash defeats that.

Yes, if you keep it out of direct sunlight when drying. Sun is what turns a black textile grey-brown, and it does it faster than washing ever will.
