Birdie Stripe Printed Frill Trim Duvet Cover Set - Oat/Milk

The Birdie Stripe duvet cover set carries a soft vertical stripe in oat and milk, the paler bands set against a warm sandy ground so the pattern reads as a gentle rhythm rather than a hard line. The stripe runs down both the cover and the pillowcases, and every edge is finished with a gathered frill trim that softens the outline of the whole set. It is made from a cotton-rich blend, 60% cotton and 40% polyester, printed with a 180 thread count. The cotton gives it a soft handle and helps it breathe against you overnight, while the polyester content helps it hold its shape and settle down after washing with less creasing.

This is a set built for a relaxed, country-style bedroom. The oat and milk palette is quiet enough to sit under almost anything, so it works with painted headboards, natural wood and the kind of layered look you see here with gingham and scalloped cushions. If you like a bed that feels made-up and inviting rather than crisp and formal, the ruffled edges do a lot of that work for you, and the neutral ground leaves you free to bring colour in through pillows and throws you can swap with the seasons.

The duvet cover fastens with buttons along the opening, which is the easy way to get a duvet in and keep it there through the night. Being a cotton blend, it takes an everyday wash and comes back ready to use with little fuss, and the frill trim can be pressed or left to fall naturally depending on the look you want. The printed stripe is double-sided, so the cover reads the same whichever way you make the bed. It sits within our wider Birdie Stripe bedding range if you want to build the look out further.

What is the duvet cover made from?

It is a cotton-rich blend of 60% cotton and 40% polyester, which gives you the soft, breathable feel of cotton with the polyester helping it resist creasing and hold its shape.

How does the cover fasten?

The cover closes with a button fastening along the opening, which keeps the duvet in place through the night and makes it straightforward to put on and take off.

Is the stripe printed on both sides?

Yes, the stripe design is double-sided, so the cover looks the same whichever way round you make up the bed and you do not need to worry about which face shows.

What size does this set cover?

This listing is the Emperor size. It is the largest of the standard bed sizes, so do check your duvet and mattress measurements before ordering to be sure of the fit.

How should I look after the frill trim?

The gathered frill can be pressed flat for a neat finish or left to fall softly for a more relaxed, cottage look, so it comes down to the style you prefer.
