Description
The Trueno duvet cover set is printed with an abstract, watercolour-style design of soft vertical brushstrokes in pink, purple, green, gold and teal across a cream ground. The print is digitally applied and runs across both sides of the duvet cover, so the set looks right whichever way you turn it and whichever side lands face-up when you make the bed. It is made from 100% cotton sateen, a weave that gives cotton a smooth, gently lustrous face while keeping the breathability you want from a natural fibre. The set comes in four sizes, from single up to super king.
This is a cover for a main bedroom where you want colour without a single hard motif to work a scheme around. The palette is broad enough to pick up almost any accent, so it sits happily with a plain teal or forest cushion, natural cane furniture, or warm wood floors and neutral walls. Because the pattern reads as movement rather than a repeat you can follow, it hides the creases and folds of everyday use better than a crisp geometric would, which makes it forgiving on a bed that gets slept in properly.
The duvet cover has a button closure along the opening, so the duvet stays put through the night rather than sliding to one end. Both the cover and the pillowcases are finished with an oxford border, the flat fabric frame that sits around the edge and gives the set its tailored look when the bed is dressed. Being pure cotton, it washes and wears well and only softens with use. The single includes one pillowcase; the double, king and super king each include two. Pair it with plain sateen sheets in cream or a muted green to let the print lead.

Frequently Asked
What is cotton sateen and how is it different from ordinary cotton?
Sateen is a weave rather than a fibre. It uses a weave structure that brings more thread to the surface, so pure cotton takes on a smooth, softly lustrous face while staying breathable.
Is the pattern printed on both sides of the duvet cover?
Yes. The abstract design is digitally printed across both faces of the cover, so it looks finished no matter which way round you dress the bed or fold it back.
How many pillowcases come with each size?
The single set includes one pillowcase. The double, king and super king sets each include two pillowcases to match the duvet cover.
What is the oxford border?
It is a flat fabric frame stitched around the edge of the cover and pillowcases. It gives the set a neat, tailored outline when the bed is made up.
How does the duvet cover fasten?
The cover closes with buttons along the opening, which keeps the duvet held in place inside the cover rather than working its way to one end overnight.
What colours are in the print?
The design blends soft pink, purple, green, gold and teal brushstrokes over a cream ground, so it works with a wide range of accent colours and natural materials.
