POMPADOUR pillowcase

The POMPADOUR pillowcase is Celso de Lemos bed linen in a cotton and silk cloth. A large ornament of curving leaves and small flowers is woven into the cloth. There are five sizes, from a 30 × 40 cm pillow to a 65 × 65 cm one. The four larger sizes have a 5 cm flange and a back in SECRET sateen. They close as an envelope. The small 30 × 40 cm pillowcase has a white SECRET sateen piping along its edge and closes with a zip.

The cloth is woven from extra-long-staple Egyptian Giza cotton and silk. This cotton grows along the Nile and is picked by hand. Two per cent of Egypt's cotton is extra-long-staple. The longer the fibre, the finer the yarn that can be spun from it. A fine yarn gives a smooth, durable cloth. A square metre of the POMPADOUR cloth weighs 150 g.

POMPADOUR is made in Portugal.
