Marlow Stripe Cotton Printed Duvet Cover Set - Oregano/Shell

The Marlow Stripe is a printed duvet cover set made from pure cotton, worked over in a soft green and cream stripe that runs the length of the cover and along the pillowcases. It comes in four sizes, single through to super king, so it suits everything from a spare room to a large main bedroom. The stripe is fine and evenly spaced rather than bold, which is why it settles quietly into a room instead of dominating it. Being 100% cotton, the cover is breathable and takes a wash well, softening a little more each time it goes through the machine.

This is bedding for a calm, unfussy bedroom. The muted green sits happily against warm woods, rattan and cane headboards, and neutral walls, and it takes kindly to a contrast accent, a dusty pink pillow or an olive velvet cushion both work as the photographs show. Because the pattern is a stripe rather than a busy print, it layers easily with plain sheets and a textured throw without the room feeling crowded. It is an everyday set rather than a showpiece, the sort you are happy to see day in, day out.

The cover closes with buttons, so the duvet stays put and the fastening sits flat under a bedspread. It is finished with a simple twin-stitch edge, a single neat line of stitching that keeps the hem tidy without adding trim or frill. Cotton like this is easy to live with: it washes and dries without fuss and presses smooth if you want a crisper look. The single set includes one pillowcase and the larger sizes include two, so check the size against your duvet before you order. Style it back with layered neutrals and a little green to keep the mood the set was made for.

What is the Marlow Stripe duvet cover set made from?

It is 100% cotton, which is breathable and hard-wearing, so it feels comfortable through the year and stands up well to regular washing.

How many pillowcases come with each size?

The single set includes one pillowcase, while the double, king and super king sets each include two. Check the size against your duvet before ordering.

Does the cover need ironing?

Cotton creases naturally, so you can press it for a crisp finish if you prefer, or leave it as is for the relaxed, lived-in look shown in the photographs.

How does the duvet stay in place?

The cover closes with buttons along the opening, which hold the duvet securely inside and sit flat so nothing shows through a bedspread or top layer.

What colours does it work with?

The muted green and cream stripe pairs well with warm woods, cane and rattan, neutral walls and a soft pink or olive accent for a little contrast.
