Tekla Douglas Checks Pillow Sham

Stonewashing breaks down the fibers before the sham reaches you, giving it a soft, lived-in texture right out of the package. It removes the stiffness often associated with new cotton, resulting in a relaxed, matte finish that feels like a favorite shirt.

Yes, percale is an excellent choice for temperature regulation. Its signature one-over, one-under weave creates a crisp, lightweight fabric that allows for maximum airflow, keeping you cool throughout the night.

The sham is crafted with extra-long staple yarns, which are more resistant to pilling and fraying than shorter fibers. While all cotton will soften over time, these high-quality yarns are specifically chosen to maintain their structural integrity and color vibrancy through regular laundering.

GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification ensures that the cotton is grown without harmful pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. Beyond the material itself, it also verifies that the entire manufacturing process—from spinning to finishing—meets strict environmental and social responsibility criteria.

To maintain the quality of the organic cotton, wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid using harsh bleach, which can compromise the fibers and the integrity of the check pattern.
