Description
The Edie bedspread is made from cotton velvet on its face, quilted for weight and warmth and hand-finished with small tied stitches dotted across the surface. It measures 140 x 220cm, a throw-over size that sits on top of a made bed rather than tucking in like a fitted cover. The face is a soft rose pink with the deep, light-catching pile that velvet gives, and the reverse is woven for a linen-look texture, so the two sides read quite differently. Velvet is a cut-pile cloth, which is what gives it that shifting depth of colour as the light moves across it.
This is a piece for the foot of the bed or laid across the whole top of a double, adding a layer you can pull up on a cool evening or fold back during the day. At 220cm long it runs the length of most double and king mattresses with a little to spare at the pillow end. The rose pink works with warm neutrals and natural woods, and the linen-look reverse means you can flip it for a plainer, calmer look when you want one. It suits a bedroom you actually live in rather than one kept for show.
The face and reverse are both 100% cotton, with a polyester filling for the quilted loft. Cotton velvet is breathable and takes dye well, which is why the rose reads so evenly across the pile. The hand-tied detailing is a deliberate, slightly relaxed finish rather than a machine-perfect one, so expect small variations from piece to piece. Because it is a cotton face over a filled centre, treat it as a quilted item rather than a flat throw when you handle and store it.

Frequently Asked
Is the velvet side real velvet?
Yes, the face is a cotton velvet, which is a cut-pile cloth that gives that soft feel and the shifting depth of colour as light moves across it.
What is the reverse like?
The reverse is woven for a linen-look texture, so it reads plainer and flatter than the velvet face. You can use whichever side suits your room on the day.
What size bed does it fit?
At 140 x 220cm it is a throw-over size that lays across the top of a double or king mattress rather than tucking in like a fitted cover.
What are the small ties across the surface?
Those are hand-tied stitches that hold the quilted layers together. They are a deliberate, relaxed finish, so small variations between pieces are normal.
Is it filled or a flat throw?
It is filled with polyester and quilted, so it has some loft and warmth to it rather than being a single flat layer of cloth.
What colour is it?
The velvet face is a soft rose pink, with a natural cream linen-look reverse that you can flip to for a plainer look.
