Pillow Talk... Need Some Help Finding Pillowcases...

So I bought these pillows in Switzerland that are 65cm x 100cm. The problem is that I didn't buy as many pillowcases as I probably should have, so I am looking for more. This is a standard size in Switzerland, but they aren't available in Denmark and I can't find them online. I could head to Switzerland and pick some up, but I have little interest in going there.

Has anyone in any other European country (esp. UK or Sweden) seen this size?

I have never seen pillows this size, in the UK or France. Is it a type of bolster?

I see odd internet references to the sizing, in French under "taie de traversin" (which does indeed mean a bolster) rather than "taie d'oreiller" which would be their square pillow, so they do exist.

Is it not possible to have some more made up by a seamstress ?
Our fabric store which also has a manufacturing side make to order all the time for the local hotels. Perhaps there is something like that where you live?
I don't know how you would find the fabric - probably a very high quality Percale.
Best of luck I hope you find them.

Thanks for the input. Seems like I may be out of luck. I still have some friends in Switzerland, so might just have to impose upon them to send me some. Then again, might just be worth heading down there for a weekend just for the heck of it anyway.

Thanks for the idea about the seamstress. Something to remember when we move back to the US.
