Forty-two color options ensure you’ll find one that fits your room’s decor without any issue. It’s important to hand-wash your silk pillowcase in cold water and let it air dry in order to keep it in its best condition, but doing so often might wear your pillowcase quicker than you’d like.

It should be noted that some of the styles available have more prominent grain patterns so if you’re looking for a smooth surface you’ll be better off sticking to a solid color.
