Romance Is Dead Organic Cotton Square Pillow Cover in Yellow by Sophie Williamson Design — 20″ × 20″

The Romance Is Dead Organic Cotton Square Pillow Cover in Yellow by Sophie Williamson Design brings the designer’s hand-illustrated cherry-blossom floral to a generous, tailored 20-inch square. Printed on heavy GOTS-certified organic cotton with nontoxic, low-impact dyes, the lively yellow colorway gives the romantic motif a brighter character than its blue counterpart, while a piped edge provides a clean finish around the pattern.

Its straightforward square silhouette makes the print the defining feature and gives the cover considerable versatility. At 20 inches, it is large enough to hold its own on a sofa, chair, or bed, while the removable-cover format makes it easy to change the mood of a room without replacing the cushion itself.

“I am very fond of changing pillow covers with the seasons rather than changing everything around them. This rose and yellow floral has such a cheerful quality that I can see bringing it out when the house needs a little lift, at the beginning of spring, before guests arrive, or simply in the middle of a rather grey week. Sometimes one good piece of color is quite enough.”

-Mrs. Mayfair

Care & Ownership

Machine wash at approximately 30°C or on a warm setting. Line dry away from direct sunlight whenever possible; if machine drying is necessary, use a delicate low setting. Iron from the reverse while the cotton is slightly damp, or mist lightly before pressing. Attend to stains promptly with water and a small amount of dish soap before washing. Avoid bleach and dry cleaning.

Because the insert is sold separately, you may reuse one already in the house or choose the fullness you prefer.
