Laundered Cotton Shams

These shams have that perfectly rumpled, lived-in look right out of the package. The sateen weave is surprisingly silky against my skin, not stiff at all.

The box-quilted finish gives these shams just the right amount of texture without feeling bulky, and they wash up perfectly. Exactly the relaxed, lived-in look I was going for.

The cotton feels even softer than I expected—like it’s already been washed a hundred times. The sateen weave has just enough weight to hold its shape without feeling stiff.

The box-quilted finish is a nice touch, giving these shams a bit of structure without losing the softness. They look relaxed on the bed, though I wish the sateen weave felt slightly smoother.
