Harriet Gingham Cotton Check Duvet Cover Set - Blue/Chocolate

The Harriet Gingham duvet cover set is made from 100% cotton with a printed seersucker face, so the front has a puckered, textured surface rather than a flat one. The check reads as a soft blue and chocolate gingham, and because the fabric is seersucker the pattern sits over a naturally crinkled weave that catches the light a little differently across the day. The reverse is a smooth, plain cotton, and the set is reversible, giving you two distinct looks from the same bedding. It comes in single, double, king and super king to suit a range of beds.

This is relaxed, everyday bedding rather than anything formal, which makes it an easy fit for a main bedroom, a guest room or a teenager's room. The tonal gingham is understated enough to sit with painted furniture, wooden headboards and neutral walls, and it takes well to layering with a plain throw or a bolder cushion when you want a bit more colour, as the styled images show with a red stripe and a chocolate velvet cushion. Turn it to the smooth side for a calmer, plainer bed, or keep the textured gingham face up for the more characterful look.

The cover fastens with buttons along the opening, which hold the duvet in place through the night and through washing. Cotton is breathable and washes and dries well, and this fabric is garment washed, which is a finishing wash that softens the cloth before it reaches you and helps settle the seersucker texture. The single set includes one pillowcase; the double, king and super king each include two. It sits within our wider Harriet Gingham bedding range, so you can mix and match sizes and coordinate across a household of beds.

What is seersucker and why is the front textured?

Seersucker is a cotton woven so that some threads pucker, giving a crinkled, textured surface. Here it means the gingham face is raised and tactile rather than flat and smooth.

Is the duvet cover really reversible?

Yes. The textured seersucker gingham is on the front and a smooth plain cotton is on the reverse, so you can choose either look and get two beds from one set.

How many pillowcases come with the set?

The single set includes one pillowcase, while the double, king and super king sets each include two pillowcases, so check the size you are ordering.

What does garment washed mean for this bedding?

Garment washed means the cotton is washed during finishing to soften it before sale, so it feels broken in and lived with from the first night rather than crisp and new.

How does the cover stay on the duvet?

The cover closes with buttons along the opening, which keep the duvet in place overnight and hold securely through washing and drying.

Which bed size should I choose?

The set comes in single, double, king and super king, so pick the size that matches your duvet rather than your mattress, as duvet sizes and bed sizes can differ.
