French for "caterpillar," chenille is a fuzzy fabric characterized by twisted, looped and cut yarns that give the fabric its downy appearance and surprising durability. Our Monarch pillow cover indulges a short pile that feels soft and silky to the touch. We love the nuanced highlights that give this taupe pillow cover depth and richness. For maximum comfort, fill our exclusive square pillow cover with a plush feather-down or lofty down-alternative insert (sold separately).
