No matter how far in the front of the plane you sit, airline pillows and eye masks can be a bit scratchy and far from luxurious, so pack something lovely to overhaul your night in flight. The silk charmeuse eye mask and pillowcase travel companions from Branché provide instant transformation. The proprietary weave used by Branché artisans is 22mm (a metric measurement reserved for silk), and is slowly woven for a smooth, incredibly soft finish facilitated by the way the silk pods are carefully unwoven to create long strand fibers.

Donna Hinds Gaynor, an expert in textiles and design, created the silk charmeuse product line. Gaynor was intrigued by the similarity between silk amino acids and the acids found in human skin, and the potential for producing a material to help keep skin hydrated while offering the potential for restorative properties. The resulting silk charmeuse is used to create soft, oversized sleep masks (with or without flax seeds) to effectively block out light and help prevent skin creases. Along with the easily stash-able Noir de Nuit Eye Masques and pillow covers, there’s also a selection of kimono robes. Eye masks and pillowcases are 100 percent silk, and available in 11 soothing, sophisticated shades designed by Gaynor, including crème, blush, toffee, driftwood, sage and lavender.
