The Citizenry Linen Euro Shams

Stonewashing is a finishing process that softens the linen fibers before the product reaches you. It gives the fabric a relaxed, lived-in texture and a matte appearance, so it feels soft and comfortable from the very first night.

While Euro shams are often used to add height and structure to a bed, these are crafted from durable, high-quality linen that is perfectly comfortable for sleeping. They are designed to hold up to daily use just as well as your standard pillowcases.

These shams are machine washable, making them easy to maintain. We recommend washing them in cool water on a gentle cycle and tumble drying on low to preserve the softness of the linen.

The Citizenry's linen collection is designed with a cohesive color palette and texture, making it easy to mix and match pieces. If you are looking to coordinate with other brands, the stonewashed finish offers a neutral, matte look that generally pairs well with most high-quality linen bedding.

These shams are designed for standard Euro sham inserts, which typically measure 26 by 26 inches. For a fuller, more plush look, many people prefer using a 28-by-28-inch down or down-alternative insert.
