St. Geneve Scala Sham

Matelassé is a weaving technique that creates a raised, quilted effect without actual padding. On the Scala sham, this results in a tactile, dimensional geometric pattern that feels structured and substantial rather than flat or silky.

The discreet seam zipper is hidden along the edge, allowing the sham to maintain a clean, uninterrupted silhouette. Unlike traditional envelope closures, this design ensures the pillow stays fully encased and looks polished from every angle.

Yes, 460 gsm is a substantial weight for bedding. It provides a durable, high-quality feel that holds its shape well on the bed, offering a more structured appearance than lighter-weight cotton shams.

Yes, the Scala sham is machine washable. Because of the matelassé texture and high-quality Egyptian Giza cotton, we recommend washing on a gentle cycle with like colors to maintain the integrity of the fabric and the geometric pattern.

A knife-edge finish means the sham has a simple, tailored seam where the front and back fabrics meet, without any decorative flange or border. It creates a sharp, minimalist look that works well in contemporary or modern bedroom settings.
