Where can I buy a nice ethnic/hippy duvet cover?

[Dr Nookie]

I want a new duvet cover and despite mammoth Googling can't find anything nice! I just want something a bit ethnic/indian/hippy-ish and can't find a damn thing (other than a couple in America where the shipping cost alone is £60).

Just wondered if anyone had any suggestions?

 

[wayward bob]

how handy are you with a sewing machine? the down and dirty way would just be to stitch something along these lines onto a plain cover, or use a flat sheet and sew your own and stick a few poppers on the end.. i still have one i made of silk saris a bazillion years ago, the duvet slides around inside it a bit but it's lasted brilliantly

Tie dye or batik a plain one?

Monsoon have some nice Indian style duvet covers. Not cheap, but not £700 either!

Have you tried Etsy?

 

[Dr Nookie]

Yeah, looked on Etsy. The trouble is the U.S ones have mammoth shipping costs!

 

[KeeperofDragons]

Just had a thought, are you any good with a sewing machine? You could always have a look in those short-term lease shops that turn up from time to time that sell all sorts of ethnic goodies, buy a couple of throws or 1 and a plain sheet of the same size and stitch them together & voila - hmmm that's given me an idea, I wonder if I can get some king-size ones

None of them are the slightest ethnic hippyish.

Anthropologie sale? I say sale because the normal price is £££. Also check TK Maxx, I've a black/paisley slightly hippy duvet cover from thee, but it took some patience and several visits before I spotted it.

 

[Kizmet]

India.

 

[friedaweed]

My local hippy shop are selling some lovely indian patchwork ones. £50 for a full set. KS duvet cover two pillow cases and two cushion covers, all in a matchin stylie.

Surely camden or somewhere like that will have similar
