Hallowquin Reversible Striped Duvet Cover Set - Multicolour

The Hallowquin duvet cover set gives you two different looks in one set. One side carries a Halloween print built from ribbon-framed diamonds, each panel filled with its own illustration: ghosts, jack-o'-lanterns, skeletons, spiders' webs, bats, moths, witches' hats and pointed little houses, drawn in pink, olive green, orange and grey against a checked ground. Turn it over and you get bold monochrome stripes in charcoal and off-white, a plainer face for when you want the season without the whole scene. It is made from a polyester and cotton blend, and it comes in four sizes from single up to super king.

This is a seasonal set, and it earns its keep through autumn and into Halloween itself, though the striped reverse is calm enough to stay on the bed well past the end of October. It suits a bedroom that can take some colour, and the photographs show it working against deep green panelling with a burgundy velvet headboard and an olive throw. Because it flips, one set covers two moods: the full print for the days you want the fun of it, the stripe for the days you want something quieter. Style it with plain pillowcases in one of the print's own colours to keep the pattern the centre of the bed.

The cover fastens with buttons, so the duvet stays put once it is inside. The polyester side of the blend keeps the fabric quick to dry and means it does not need ironing, while the cotton in the mix adds a softer, more breathable feel against the skin. That combination is the point of a blend like this: easier laundering than pure cotton, more comfort than pure polyester. The single includes one pillowcase; the double, king and super king each include two.

What is the duvet cover made from?

It is a blend of 52% polyester and 48% cotton, which gives you the quick drying of polyester with some of the softness and breathability of cotton.

Is it really reversible?

Yes. One side is the printed Halloween diamond pattern and the other is a bold monochrome stripe, so you get two looks from the one set and can flip it whenever you fancy a change.

Does it need ironing?

No. The blend is designed to come out of the wash with a crisp enough look that it does not need ironing, which saves a real job on a large item like a duvet cover.

How many pillowcases come with it?

The single size includes one pillowcase, while the double, king and super king sizes each include two pillowcases to match.

How does the cover stay closed?

It has a button fastening along the opening, which holds the duvet securely inside once you have put it in.

Can I use it outside of Halloween?

You can. The printed side is very much seasonal, but the plain striped reverse is quiet enough to stay on the bed year round if you prefer.
