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.

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

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

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.

1970, I'd say. smile

1967?

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

I might still have the pillowcases 😂

Marks and Spencer….1975 mine was.

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)!

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

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

Rosie51 Mon 07-Sept-26 13:43:57

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

Retro is all the trend now!

Nandalot Mon 07-Sept-26 13:43:01

1975. I had one in pink then.

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

BlueBelle Mon 07-Sept-26 13:32:11

Very seventies

LadyGracie Mon 07-Sept-26 13:21:05

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

Me too! C1979 smile

Aveline Mon 07-Sept-26 13:12:08

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

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.
