A Hand-Dyed Pillowcase that Delivers Beauty Benefits

Upstate’s pillowcases prevent hair tangles and face creases so you really can wake up looking pretty great.

If you still long for those summer camp days spent tie-dying t-shirts with mounds of rubber bands than Kalen Kaminski’s beautifully hand-dyed pieces should be on your radar right now. The founder of Upstate relies on the Japanese technique of shibori when creating her signature brand of kaleidoscopic patterned goods, using natural dyes made from cochineal, avocado pits, turmeric, madder root, and an ample supply of nuts and bark (a more sustainable — and creative — alternative to traditional dyes, right?).

In addition to fashion items, like this amazing flared velvet jumpsuit, Kaminski recently launched into the wellness space, with her new Beauty Pillows. Hand-dyed at her Brooklyn studio, the pillowcases are made from 100 percent silk charmeuse — a fabric with smoother fibers than those found in coarse cotton, which helps prevent hair tangles and bedhead snarls that can actually weaken and damage your mane. Plus, silk has hypoallergenic properties that help minimize skin irritation — so you can wake up without those annoying pillow creases on your face. Some even suggest that by not contorting your face every night silk pillowcases can reduce wrinkles — hey, it certainty can’t hurt.

Beyond the beauty benefits, the pillowcases just look magical — like the type you would find in the bedroom of a gypsy artist or a French poet who lounges in bed writing verses all day. The standard-size cases come in four patterns, dyed with ingredients like hibiscus flowers and turmeric, to achieve their perfectly worn-in design. It’s enough to convince you that resting your head on one of these otherworldly creations is the stuff of dreams.

I’m sorry but the price is outrageous…yes they do have a cool factor; but for that price I can do 10 of them, including natural tye-dye!

HI Bonnie,
The great idea to remove the dryness and cracks appeared on the skin by using the hemp oil exclusively daily according to the short period of a time after the recommendations of a doctor and also understand the method of using hemp oil which is helpful to eliminate the skin dryness problem rapidly ,my suggestion is to concern this kind of problem with the skin specialist for the proper treatment of skin dryness disease one time in a week and also discussed in details about the results comming during the treatment of skin dryness dont move in the market during the sun light ,because the rays of sunlight damaged the upper layer of skin,if you work in a sunlight then you will be notice after some time your skin become dry and cracks are appeared ,So take care of skin and avoid for working in a sun light .hemp seed oil also protect the upper layer of your skin and also increase the smoothness .
Thanks .
