Pillow covers from India to finish the bed

Pillow covers from India are the finishing touch that turns a made bed into a styled one. A pair of block printed shams, a white Chikankari cover or a Kantha stitched case brings Indian fabric and handwork to the bedroom without needing a full bedding set.

When buyers ask about pillow covers, we usually ask whether they are matching an existing bedding range or selling them on their own. That decides whether we start from your fabric or ours.

Types of pillow covers

Plain cotton pillowcases

Woven in percale or sateen to match our bedsheets, in standard, queen and king sizes.

Block printed shams

Hand printed in Jaipur and Bagru, often with piped or ruffled edges and envelope closures. They match our bedcovers and quilts.

Embroidered covers

White Chikankari embroidery from Lucknow and Kantha stitching from West Bengal for premium, textured looks. Our Chikankari cushion cover shows the same craft.

Sizes and closures

Standard (50 x 75 cm), queen and king sizes are available, along with European square shams. Closures can be envelope, zip or button. Custom sizes are easy to arrange.

Pillow covers or cushion covers?

Pillow covers are for sleeping pillows and are made for comfort and washing. Decorative cushion covers are for display and often use richer fabrics and embellishment. We supply both and can match them in the same print.

Colours

Whites, ivories and pastel prints are easy. Specific neutral shades may need special dyeing with a minimum quantity.

Minimum quantities and packing

Minimums are per design and size and are kept modest. Covers are sold in pairs, packed in bags or boxes with your label. We price ex-factory, FOB, CFR or CIF depending on how you prefer to ship.

Questions about pillow covers from India

Can you match pillow covers to my bedding?

Yes. Send a swatch and we will match the fabric or print.

Are embroidered pillow covers comfortable to sleep on?

Chikankari is soft and flat, so yes. Heavier embroidery is better for decorative shams.

Do you sell pillow covers in pairs?

Yes, pairs are standard for retail.

Building a bedroom story

Pillow covers are often the easiest way to add Indian craft to a store that already sells plain bedding. Two printed shams and a white embroidered cover can sit on any bed and instantly lift it. They also make good gifts, packed in pairs with a ribbon or a printed card.

What affects the price

Embroidery and piping add more than the fabric itself. Plain percale cases are the most economical; Chikankari covers are priced on the hours of hand embroidery. We will show you the options at different price points.
