FAQs

What items are included in the set?

The set includes one duvet cover and a matching pair of standard pillowcases.

Is the fabric machine washable?

Yes, but it must be washed according to the instructions on the sewn-in care label to ensure the design remains intact.

Does this match other V&A Chinese Magpie items?

Yes, the set is part of a wider collection including additional pillowcase options and varying duvet cover sizes.

What is the inspiration behind this design?

The design is inspired by 18th-century chinoiserie wallpaper patterns held in the V&A archives, originally adapted by William Turner in the early 20th century.

Can I iron this duvet cover?

Yes, you can use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric, but avoid direct contact with the print if possible.

Troubleshooting

Fading of print after washing

Ensure the bedding is turned inside out during every wash and use a cold, gentle cycle.

Excessive wrinkling

Remove from the dryer promptly while slightly damp or use a low-heat setting on your iron.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated and timeless aesthetic
  • High-quality print detail inspired by archival art
  • Coordinates well with both classic and modern furniture
  • Complete set simplifies bedding coordination

Cons

  • Requires careful laundering to preserve print quality
  • Specific design style may not suit minimalist interiors
  • Green colour palette requires careful matching with existing decor

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your V&A bedding in optimal condition, always check the care label inside the duvet cover before the first wash. It is recommended to wash the items inside-out to protect the printed surface from friction. Use a gentle cycle with mild detergent and avoid harsh bleaching agents that could strip the colour. For drying, line-drying is preferred to maintain the structure of the fabric, though low-heat tumble drying may be used if the care label permits. Ensure the duvet insert size matches the cover dimensions to prevent excessive shifting within the cover during the night.
