Heritage Duvet Cover
Chosen and written about by
Why it stays put
The French Tail
Most duvet covers close with buttons and drift by morning. Ours ends in a long tail that tucks deep under the mattress, holding the duvet square to the bed all night.
It is one of the reasons hotels specify us, and the detail customers mention most often in reviews.
Grosgrain ribbon trim
Grosgrain Trim
Grosgrain is a ribbed ribbon woven from heavier weft threads across a finer warp, giving it a firm, textured structure. It is applied as an edging or contrast border on bed linen. The dense weave holds its shape and colour through repeated laundering.
Single hemstitch detail
Hemstitch
A single hemstitch is a drawn-thread finish, made by removing a row of weft threads and binding the remaining warp threads into small, evenly spaced groups. This creates one row of open, ladder-like stitching along the hem, giving a classic, traditional look.
Available in Heritage White, Silver and Ivory.
Double Hemstitch detail
Double Hemstitch
A double hemstitch uses the same drawn-thread technique as a single hemstitch, worked as two parallel rows instead of one. Each row is stitched separately, requiring a second pass along the hem, for a more pronounced version of the classic hemstitch look.

Questions we are asked most
What is the difference between Heritage and Island?
What is the difference between Heritage and Island?
Heritage is a 500 thread count Pima cotton sateen, soft and silky with a gentle sheen. Island is a Pima cotton percale, cool, crisp and breathable thanks to its one-over, one-under weave. If you are a warm sleeper, Island is the better choice. If you love a silky feel, choose Heritage.
