I use this duvet cover in warm weather instead of a quilt. I was thinking while hanging it out to dry if others still have theirs? I’ve seen it in a film once, which was indicative of the time. I’m glad I didn’t get rid of it.
Mid-to-late 1960s. My ma-in-law had wallpaper in her living room that was this design. I know this because, as teenagers, I and my (then) boyfriend hung it for her (didn't do a bad job, either)!
Do not think duvet's were around in the 1960's. They became the fashion in the seventies. I can remember trying to get some covers for these on my young children's beds, went round all of central London and there was nothing - just floral like this one. That would have been 1972 -73.
I've got memories of a duvet like this ,but in mauve shades. I've always loved cream or white broderie anglaise and gave all my brightly coloured linen away. The quality was amazing though .
Me too! I'm sure I remember making beds with these covers on, but if they didn't "come out" until the 70s, then I would have been too young to be working. Perhaps we had similar sheets when I was a child.
