Silk Pillowcases

There's a particular kind of softness you only notice in its absence — the cool, weightless slip of silk against your cheek as the day finally lets go. That's the feeling every LoveSilk pillowcase is cut for: 22-momme, 100% pure mulberry silk, smooth enough that skin and hair glide rather than drag. With so little friction through the night, it eases the creases cotton leaves on your skin, calms frizz and flyaways, and helps your skin hold the moisture it would otherwise lose — so you wake looking a little more like you've actually slept.

How to Choose Your Silk Pillowcase

Find your size

Our silk pillowcases are cut for real New Zealand beds:

Zip or envelope

Choose zip for a snug, stay-put fit, or envelope for a clean, classic finish — the same pure 22-momme silk either way, in colours from best-selling Ivory White and Champagne Gold to soft Pink and Silver.

Looking after them

Treated kindly, a silk pillowcase lasts for years. A gentle cold wash in a mesh bag, or a few minutes by hand, is all it asks — the full method is in our guide on how to wash a silk pillowcase. And for hair that stays protected from root to tip, a silk hair bonnet picks up where the pillowcase leaves off.

Designed in New Zealand and made to be slept on for years rather than seasons — pure comfort, pure silk.
