Standard Pillow Cover - Aizome-fu
A Fresh Look, A New Feeling
Small changes can transform both your room and your routine. Crafted from carefully chosen cotton fabric, this cover is tailored to fit standard pillows seamlessly. The convenient envelope design lets you slip it on, tuck it in, and swap styles in seconds. When it’s time for a reset, simply remove it and toss it in the washing machine.
Part of our Aizome-fu collection, this piece takes its cue from the deep, captivating shades of classic Japanese indigo dyeing (aizome, 藍染め). It delivers that iconic, time-tested look without relying on actual indigo dye.
Equal parts stylish and functional, this pillow cover brings effortless charm and everyday comfort to your space.
