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 up to 7 working days in transit after dispatch within 2 working days.

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 delivery. 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 up to 7 working days in transit, so anything inside up to 7 working days after dispatch within 2 working 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.

No. It is a pale grey-lavender, much closer to a warm grey than to a lilac or a violet. If you want a strong purple, this is not it.

Grey first, then white, and it pairs unusually well with the dusty pink if you want two soft colours on one bed.

Cool, but only just. The grey in it stops it going cold the way a true lilac would.

About as much as on the silver, which is to say considerably less than on white.

No, at cold wash temperatures. A pale muted colour carries little dye.

Lavender is one of the more light-sensitive dyes and it fades towards grey rather than going patchy. Dry it in the shade.

Yes. Same 22 momme mulberry silk, same 51cm x 76cm, same GBP 39. Only the colour differs.

Greyer and warmer. Warm bulbs take most of the lavender out of it, so at night it reads close to the silver.

Yes, better than the green does. Cold north light brings out the grey in it, which is flattering rather than chalky.

Silver if you want a pure neutral. Lavender if you want a neutral with something in it. In lamplight they are hard to tell apart.

It is quieter than the pink and less safe than the silver, so it tends to be bought by people who already know the room it is going into.

51cm x 76cm, the standard UK pillow.

A hidden zip rather than an envelope flap.

Yes, the satin pillowcase at GBP 22 includes a lavender. It is polyester rather than silk.

The standard UK pillow size, 51cm x 76cm, with a hidden zip.

No, it is one of eleven colours of the same pillowcase: 22 momme mulberry silk, 51cm x 76cm, GBP 39.

Often, yes. Cameras and warm bulbs both pull the lavender out of it. In daylight in the room it is clearly a colour, which is worth knowing before you judge it from a picture.

Better than any other pairing in the range. They share the grey undertone, so two of them together read as one considered scheme rather than as two colours.
