Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your V&A Elysian set remains in peak condition, follow these recommendations:

  • Setup: Before first use, wash the set on a gentle cycle to soften the fabric. Always verify your duvet insert size matches the specific variant (Double or King) to ensure proper fit.
  • Compatibility: The set is designed for standard UK bedding dimensions. Ensure your duvet inner is of equal quality to match the weight and drape of the cover.
  • Care: Machine wash at a cool temperature with like colors. Avoid heavy detergents or bleach, which can fade the intricate archival pigments. Tumble dry on low or line dry in the shade to preserve the integrity of the cotton print.
