Long Pillow Cover - Aizome-fu
A simple change, a fresh feeling
Wrap your Long Pillow in carefully selected aizome-fu fabric and let your space—and your mood—breathe anew. Effortless to switch, easy to wash, and always inviting.
The cover features string ties that allow you to adjust the height and firmness to match the contours of your neck. Loosen the ties for a lower profile, or tighten them to increase support—customizing it to your exact comfort.
Crafted from our Aizome-Fu fabrics, which are inspired by the rich, beautiful blue of traditional indigo dye (aizome, 藍染め), these patterns capture the same elegant, timeless look without the use of actual indigo.
Small update, big comfort. The Long Pillow Cover turns everyday rest into something quietly joyful.
