Strawberry Thief Cotton Floral Duvet Cover Set - Natural

This is the Strawberry Thief duvet cover set, one of the best known patterns from the William Morris archive, printed here in soft natural and beige tones on pure cotton. The face is garment-washed slub cotton, which gives it a relaxed, lived-in handle from the first night rather than a stiff new-bedding feel. The reverse is a smooth percale cotton in a fine pinstripe, so the set is fully reversible and reads two different ways depending on which side you turn up. Both sides are 100% cotton, a breathable natural fibre that sleeps cool and softens further with every wash.

It suits a bedroom that leans into warm neutrals and natural materials, and the photographed setting shows why: cane headboard, rattan shade, jute rug and dark wood chest all sit comfortably with the muted florals. The pinstriped reverse is the more restrained face if you want a quieter look on a made bed, while the floral front carries the room when you want the pattern to lead. The set comes in Double, King and Super King, so you can match it to your mattress and pick the pillowcase count that goes with each size.

The oxford pillowcases have a flat border edge, and the set is finished with a contrast piped trim around the cover. It closes with buttons along the opening, which is the reliable way to keep a duvet seated overnight. Being pure cotton, it takes a warm wash and irons back to a crisp finish if you like a pressed edge, though the slub face is forgiving if you prefer it relaxed straight from the line. It belongs to the wider Strawberry Thief range, so you can build on it with coordinating pieces.

Is the duvet cover really reversible?

Yes. The floral slub cotton front and the pinstriped percale reverse are both finished sides, so you can turn either one up depending on the look you want.

What is the difference between the slub front and the percale reverse?

The slub cotton front has a relaxed, slightly textured handle from garment washing, while the percale reverse is smooth and crisp. Both are pure cotton.

How many pillowcases come with the set?

The pillowcases have oxford border edges. The exact count follows the size, so a larger set includes more than a smaller one; check the size you are ordering.

How do I keep the duvet from slipping inside the cover?

The cover closes with buttons along the opening, which holds the duvet in place through the night far better than an open end would.

Can I iron it?

Cotton presses well if you want a crisp finish, and the slub face also looks good left relaxed straight from the line, so it works either way.
