Opal Blue Plaid Linen Ruffle Pillow Cover by Danielle Oakey Shop - 22 x 22 in.

Blue and natural linen yarns form Opal’s woven plaid, framed here by a gathered ruffle on all four sides. The pattern runs across the front and back, with the yarn colors giving the check its slightly varied surface. A metal zipper and serged edges complete the cover. This ruffled version brings a softer outline to the same clear grid that makes a plaid useful among florals and plains.

“A ruffle changes the outline as well as the mood of a pillow. I would leave a little room around Opal, so the gathered edge can be seen instead of being pressed between two other covers.”
-Mrs. Mayfair

Care & Ownership

Spot clean rather than washing the whole cover. Blot a fresh spill promptly with a clean white cloth. Test a hidden area before treating a mark, then use a barely damp cloth and a little mild soap if needed; avoid rubbing or saturating the fabric. Blot away moisture and let the treated area air-dry fully in the shade before replacing the insert. Do not soak, bleach or tumble-dry. Keep strong direct sunlight from falling on the same area continuously.

Remove and replace the insert gently, supporting the zipper opening rather than forcing a folded insert against its ends. Close the zipper before storing a clean, dry cover, and fold it loosely away from damp and direct light. Support the gathered trim while refitting the cover and smooth it gently by hand; avoid pulling the ruffle to move a filled pillow.

Maker / Heritage

Danielle Oakey began her pillow shop in a two-bedroom apartment, building the collection around her interest in fabrics and the combinations they can make. Her approach considers the relationship between covers: the scale of a floral, the clear line of a stripe, and the texture of a weave. The collection brings together hand-block printed fabrics from India and woven textiles, including Lithuanian linens. Interior designers also work with the shop through its trade program. That attention to combining rather than matching gives the covers their usefulness: individual patterns can keep their own character while still belonging in the same room.
