Soft, breathable French flax linen.

Buttercups is for those drawn to romantic botanicals and bedrooms that feel warm, layered, and softly lived-in. Crafted from breathable French flax linen that relaxes beautifully with every wash, it brings gentle colour and quiet character to the everyday. If used and cared for well, French flax linen can last for years with often use and love.

The Buttercups pillowcase pair is made from 100% French flax linen; lightweight, breathable, and prewashed for softness from the first night. Linen naturally regulates temperature, helping you stay comfortable year-round, and continues to soften with every wash.

Bright but gentle, the Buttercups print brings a sense of lightness to the bedroom, cheerful without feeling loud, and easy to mix with neutrals or layer with other Aspen & Fern pieces.

What’s included:

You’ll receive two standard-size pillowcases, finished with a simple envelope closure and presented in a matching linen care bag. Thoughtfully designed to be practical, unfussy, and easy to use.

Print and finish details:

Digitally printed on natural flax linen, with the reverse showing the fabric’s natural tone. As with all natural flax linen, subtle variations in texture and print are part of the fabric’s character and something we love about working with linen.

“The Buttercups design is the second set I’ve purchased. I love the freshness of the print and how soft and silky the linen feels. Ordering was easy, delivery was quick, and the personal thank-you note was such a lovely touch.” - Jules

Customers often describe Buttercups as a design that makes them smile; a small, everyday joy that brightens the room and feels special to come home to.

A print inspired by simple moments:

Buttercups are often associated with childhood, picked from the grass, held under the chin to catch the yellow glow, shared in playful moments outdoors. That sense of warmth and familiarity is what this design brings into the home: something cheerful, comforting, and quietly nostalgic.

Paired with soft linen and a relaxed finish, Buttercups fits easily into daily life, whether that’s winding down at night, refreshing a room without redecorating, or creating a space that feels calm and considered.

FAQ's

Is linen scratchy? Linen can feel different from cotton at first, but our French flax linen is prewashed for softness and becomes noticeably softer with every wash. Many customers find it relaxed and comfortable from the first night, and even better over time.

Will the print fade over time? Our prints are digitally printed onto natural flax linen and designed to be long-lasting. With gentle washing and proper care, the colour will remain beautiful. As with all natural fabrics, gradual softening over time is expected and part of linen’s character.

Is linen suitable for sensitive skin? Yes. Linen is naturally breathable and hypoallergenic, making it a great option for sensitive skin. It allows airflow and helps regulate temperature, which many people find more comfortable year-round.

Is the fabric printed on both sides? No, the design is digitally printed on one side of the linen. The reverse remains unprinted, showing the fabric’s natural flax tone and texture.

Can I tumble dry linen pillowcases? We recommend line drying where possible to extend the life of your linen. If you do use a dryer, choose a low heat and remove while slightly damp. Linen naturally relaxes as it dries and doesn’t require ironing unless you prefer a crisp look.

What if I’m unsure which print or size to choose? We’re always happy to help. If you’d like advice on prints, pairing pieces, or sizing, feel free to get in touch, we’ll help you choose something you’ll love living with.
