Can you guess the year?

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.

Ooh. We had that one too. Definitely 70s duvet cover

Me too! C1979 smile

My DM had the duvet cover and sheets in the 70’s, that brought back some lovely memories. Thank you.

Very seventies

Magenta8 Mon 07-Sept-26 13:39:07

I would guess 1973. Simply because I bought a duvet cover that was very similar that year.

1975. I had one in pink then.

Retro is all the trend now!

Definitely 70s. We had a very similar wallpaper back then too, long since gone thank goodness.

1970?
Couldnt decide if 60s or early 70s.

jenpax Mon 07-Sept-26 13:47:35

As a child I had a pink version of that on my bed in the 70’s matching curtains too

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)!

Marks and Spencer….1975 mine was.

Beechnut Mon 07-Sept-26 14:01:28

I might still have the pillowcases 😂

And modern bed linen won’t last nearly as long!

Oreo Mon 07-Sept-26 14:14:12

1967?

MissAdventure Mon 07-Sept-26 14:17:41

1970, I'd say. smile

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.

Maybe the OP will return and put us out of our misery.🤔

Greenfinch Mon 07-Sept-26 14:34:39

1972. I had one like that for a wedding present.

AGAA4 Mon 07-Sept-26 14:41:24

I think it was the mid 70s that I bought my boys their first duvets. The covers were floral in red and white very like the pattern of the OPs.

Esmay Mon 07-Sept-26 14:51:33

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 .

MissAdventure Mon 07-Sept-26 14:55:24

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.

In flannelette 😁

Probably mid to late 1970s as one daughter had the pink version for her single bed. Marks and Sparks.

No, we haven't still got it, unfortunately.
