Description
The Birdie Stripe duvet cover set is built around a broad vertical stripe in bay green and soft off-white, and what lifts it above a plain stripe is the detailing along each colour edge. A fine zigzag or scalloped line runs where green meets white, and a gathered frill trim frames the outside of the cover and the pillowcases. That ruffle is the reason to choose this set over a flat printed stripe, and it is the thing that gives it its relaxed, cottage feel. The set is a cotton-rich blend of 60% cotton and 40% polyester, printed rather than woven, so the pattern sits on a smooth face.
This is a set for a bedroom you want to feel calm and lived-in rather than crisp and hotel-like. The muted green reads as gentle rather than bold, so it works with painted walls in warm neutrals, with natural wood furniture, and it sits happily next to gingham curtains or a plain velvet cushion in a warmer pink. Because it comes in sizes from single up to emperor, it suits a child's room, a guest room or a main bedroom equally, and the frilled edge is soft enough for a younger room without being fussy.
The cover uses a button fastening at the opening, which holds the duvet in place and is quick to close when you make the bed. The 60% cotton content means the cotton fibres carry moisture away and feel breathable against you, while the polyester in the blend helps the fabric resist creasing and hold its shape through washing. The 180 thread count gives it a soft, everyday hand. The frill will look its best given a gentle press after washing. If you like the wider look, gingham and check pieces sit naturally alongside it.

Frequently Asked
What is the Birdie Stripe duvet cover set made from?
It is a cotton-rich blend of 60% cotton and 40% polyester, which balances the breathable, soft feel of cotton with the crease resistance of polyester.

The single size includes one pillowcase, while the double, king, super king and emperor sizes each include two pillowcases with the cover.
How does the duvet cover close?
The cover has a button fastening along the opening, which keeps the duvet held in place and makes closing it quick when you make the bed.
Will the frill trim need any special care?
The ruffle edge looks its best given a gentle press after washing so the gathers sit evenly around the cover and pillowcases.
What colour is this bedding?
It is a broad vertical stripe in a muted bay green against a soft off-white, with a scalloped line where the two colours meet.
