Josephine Cotton Floral Duvet Cover Set - White/Pink

The Josephine duvet cover set is made from 100% cotton muslin, a double-layered gauze weave that gives the fabric its soft crinkle and open, breathable feel. Across a crisp white ground sit small embroidered flowers in soft peach, ochre and green, each stem worked in raised thread so the pattern has a little texture under the hand rather than sitting flat. The set comes in four sizes, from single up to super king, and closes with buttons along the opening. The pillowcases are finished with a flat piped trim that frames each edge.

This is a set built for a calm, uncluttered bedroom. The scattered floral embroidery is spaced widely enough to read as gentle rather than busy, so it sits happily with painted panelling, natural wood and warm neutral walls without competing for attention. It suits anyone who likes a lighter, airier bed dressing than a heavy printed cotton, and the muslin construction lends itself to layering with a knitted throw or a linen valance when the weather turns cooler. In summer the same lightness keeps the bed feeling fresh.

Because it is pure cotton, the set is naturally breathable and takes a warm wash well, and cotton grows softer with each cycle rather than stiffening. The muslin weave will hold a relaxed, lived-in crinkle straight from the line, which is part of its character rather than a fault to press out. The button closure lets you fasten the duvet securely inside so it stays put through the night. Pair it with the matching flat-piped pillowcases for a coordinated finish, or mix in a striped cushion and a soft throw to break up the white and add a little warmth to the scheme.

What is cotton muslin and how does it feel?

Cotton muslin is a lightweight double-gauze weave. It feels soft and airy with a natural crinkled texture, and stays breathable across the seasons.

How does the duvet cover fasten?

The cover closes with buttons along the opening, which lets you fasten the duvet securely inside so it stays in place through the night.

How many pillowcases are included?

Pillowcase quantity varies by size, so please check the size you are ordering. The pillowcases are finished with a flat piped trim along the edges.

Will it soften over time?

Yes. Because it is pure cotton, the fabric grows softer with each wash rather than stiffening, and the muslin keeps its relaxed crinkled character.

Does the crinkled look mean it needs ironing?

The muslin weave is meant to sit with a soft, lived-in crinkle, so many people leave it as it is rather than pressing it flat.
