Palmeria Velvet Jungle Duvet Cover Set - Navy

The Palmeria duvet cover set is worked in a soft, sumptuous velvet on the front, quilted and embroidered with a large jungle leaf design. The photographs show the effect clearly: broad fronds picked out in raised, channelled stitching that catches the light and gives the surface real depth. The velvet front is 100% polyester and the reverse is 100% cotton, so the two faces do different jobs, and you get to choose which sits against you. It comes in Single, Double, King and Super King, in the deep navy you see here.

This is a set built for a bedroom you want to feel a little richer. The raised leaf pattern reads best against a dark or moody wall, as in the photographs, but it will hold its own in a lighter room too, where the texture does the work rather than the colour. The velvet face gives the bed weight and presence; the cotton reverse is the side to turn towards you on a warmer night, since cotton breathes and carries heat away from the skin more readily than a synthetic pile. Larger sizes come with two pillowcases rather than one, so plan around your bed width when you choose.

The cover closes with clear buttons, which makes taking the duvet out and putting it back straightforward, and the pillowcases are finished with an oxford edge, the flat border you can see framing each one in the photographs. Being a polyester front over a cotton reverse, it is a hardwearing set that keeps its look through regular use. An additional pillowcase and a coordinating cushion are available separately if you want to build the look out further. Style it against warm metal and dark timber, or soften it with pale flowers, as the room shots do, to let the navy read as considered rather than heavy.

Which side of the cover goes against me at night?

Either works, but the cotton reverse is the cooler, more breathable face, so turn that towards you on warmer nights and keep the velvet front on show.

How many pillowcases come with each size?

The Single includes one pillowcase, while the Double, King and Super King each include two pillowcases, so choose the size that matches your bed.

What is the velvet front actually made of?

The front is 100% polyester worked as a velvet pile, which gives it the soft hand and light-catching depth you can see in the quilted leaf design.

How does the duvet cover fasten?

It closes with clear buttons along the opening, which makes it easy to slip the duvet in and take it out again when it is time to wash the cover.

What is an oxford edge on the pillowcases?

An oxford edge is the flat fabric border stitched around the pillowcase, framing the quilted panel and giving the pair a more finished look on the bed.

Can I add matching pieces later?

Yes, an additional pillowcase and a coordinating cushion are available to buy separately if you want to build out the look over time.
