Looking after it

Cold water, 30 degrees or below, hand wash or a gentle machine cycle in a mesh bag. Use a detergent with no enzymes and no bleach. Air dry out of direct sun and keep it out of the dryer. Iron on the lowest setting if you iron it at all.

Black, in 22 momme mulberry silk.

One pillowcase, 51 cm by 76 cm, Grade 6A long fibre mulberry silk with a hidden zip. Same silk as every case we sell. Black is the colour people buy when the pillowcase has to disappear.

Black is the colour people buy when the pillowcase has to disappear. On a dark bed it reads as part of the bedding rather than as an accessory, which is why it is the one most often bought by people who were not sure they wanted a silk pillowcase at all.

The silk is the same on every colour we sell: 100 per cent mulberry, Grade 6A long fibre, woven to 22 momme. The colour is the only thing that changes.

The practical argument for black is make-up and hair product. Neither shows on it between washes the way it does on white, so a black case looks presentable for longer even though it needs washing just as often.

It closes with a hidden zip rather than an envelope flap, so the pillow stays where you put it and there is nothing to tuck at 11pm.

Fits a standard Irish pillow at 51 cm by 76 cm. A king pillow will not fit, and we would rather say that here than on the returns page.

Black Silk Pillowcase

What a silk pillowcase does is reduce friction. That is a property of the weave, not a treatment, and it is the honest version of everything else said about silk pillowcases.

Black Silk Pillowcase

The number that matters is momme, which is how silk is weighed rather than counted. Silk thread is too fine for a useful thread count, so a piece is weighed instead. At 22 momme this is a dense, heavy silk. Below about 19 a pillowcase wears through quickly; much above 22 and you are into curtain weight and lose the drape.

The practical argument for black is make-up and hair product. Neither shows on it between washes the way it does on white, so a black case looks presentable for longer even though it needs washing just as often.

Care is the part people get wrong, and it is simple. Cold water, no enzymes, no bleach, no dryer, dry in the shade. A mesh laundry bag makes a machine cycle safe. Treated that way a 22 momme case lasts years rather than seasons.

This page is one of eleven colours, and the case itself is identical across all of them. If you want to see the whole colour range on one page with a picker, the Pure Silk Pillowcase page carries it.

Not sure yet? That is fine.

You can change your mind. You have 15 days from delivery on any unused item in its original packaging. That sits on top of the 14 day right to cancel that Irish law gives you on anything bought online. On a cancellation you pay only the direct cost of sending the goods back.

If it turns up faulty, damaged or not as described, that is on us. Under the Consumer Rights Act 2022 you are entitled to a repair or a replacement first, and to a price reduction or your money back where that does not put things right. We pay the return postage and nothing on this page limits any of it. Read the detail on our refunds and returns page, or ask us anything before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a Black Mulberry Silk Pillowcase part of holistic care?

It turns nightly rest into a rejuvenating ritual that nourishes body and mind.

How does a Black Silk Pillow Slip elevate bedroom ambience?

A Black Silk Pillow Slip elevates bedroom appeal with its lustrous finish.

What does momme actually measure?

Weight, not thread count. Silk thread is too fine to count usefully, so it is weighed instead: momme is the weight in pounds of a 45 inch by 100 yard piece. Our pillowcases, eye mask, bonnet and baby mittens are 22 momme, the silk flat sheet is 19 momme and the women's mulberry pyjama set is 16 momme.

Is a Black Silk Pillow Slip suitable year-round?

A Black Silk Pillow Slip is season-friendly. It keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter, ensuring consistent comfort throughout the year.

How durable is a Black Mulberry Silk Pillowcase?

A Black Mulberry Silk Pillowcase is strong and resilient. Silk fibres are known to be tougher than steel of the same thickness, ensuring long-lasting luxury.

Is everything on this site actually silk?

No, and the page always says which. The mulberry silk range is 100 per cent silk. The satin range is polyester or a viscose blend woven in a satin weave, which gives a similar glide at a much lower price. Both are on the site on purpose and each product page states its own fabric.

How does a Black Silk Pillow Slip add calm to bedtime?

A Black Silk Pillow Slip creates a calming, spa-like touch that encourages relaxation.

Why is a Black Mulberry Silk Pillowcase a thoughtful gift?

A Black Mulberry Silk Pillowcase makes an elegant gift.

How much is delivery?

Free across Ireland on orders of €60 or more. Below that the method offered is Express Delivery at €25, which is also available above the threshold as a paid upgrade. Allow 5 to 7 days after a 24 to 48 hour handling time.

Is a Black Mulberry Silk Pillowcase environmentally friendly?

A Black Mulberry Silk Pillowcase is biodegradable and sustainable. Unlike synthetics, silk fibres break down naturally, making it a planet-friendly luxury choice.

Why is a Black Mulberry Silk Pillowcase considered luxurious?

A Black Mulberry Silk Pillowcase feels indulgent with its glossy finish and velvety touch.

What makes a Black Mulberry Silk Pillowcase higher in quality?

A Black Mulberry Silk Pillowcase uses long, uniform fibres that deliver unmatched softness and durability. Mulberry silk is considered the gold standard in luxury bedding.

Do your prices include VAT?

Yes. Every price shown on this site includes VAT, so the figure on the product page is the figure you pay.

Can a Black Silk Pillowcase improve nightly rest?

A Black Silk Pillowcase improves sleep by regulating temperature. Its breathable nature keeps you cooler in summer and warmer in winter, promoting deep, restorative rest.

How do I wash silk without ruining it?

Cold water, 30 degrees or below, on a gentle cycle or by hand, with a detergent that has no enzymes and no bleach. Air dry out of direct sun and skip the dryer. A mesh laundry bag is worth using if it goes in the machine.

How to choose a pillowcase colour when you want it to disappear

4 min read Flair Silk Company

Start with the pillow, not the pillowcase

This case is 51 cm by 76 cm, which fits the standard pillow size sold here. If your pillow is a king, or a contoured memory foam shape, measure it before you order. A silk case that is stretched over a pillow it was not cut for wears at the seam first, and that is the one failure that is not the fabric's fault.

Then decide what you want the colour to do

The practical argument for black is make-up and hair product. Neither shows on it between washes the way it does on white, so a black case looks presentable for longer even though it needs washing just as often.

The number to look at is momme

Momme is a weight, not a count. Silk thread is too fine to count usefully, so a standard piece is weighed instead. This case is 22 momme, which is the weight we settled on for pillowcases: 19 is fine but wears through sooner, and much heavier than 22 starts behaving like furnishing silk and loses the drape.

Know what you are buying, silk or satin

Satin is a weave and silk is a fibre, so a fabric can be one, the other, or both. This page is silk. The Satin Silk Pillowcase elsewhere on this site is a satin weave in 100 per cent polyester, which glides in much the same way and costs a good deal less. Both are worth owning and they are not the same thing, so we price and describe them separately.

Wash it the boring way

Cold water, 30 degrees or below, hand wash or a gentle machine cycle in a mesh bag. Use a detergent with no enzymes and no bleach. Air dry out of direct sun and keep it out of the dryer. Iron on the lowest setting if you iron it at all.
