Classique Pewter & White Quilt Cover Set
Pewter is the colourway that works without asking anything of the room around it. The embroidery runs down both sides and across the base of the duvet cover, with corner motifs resolving each junction. The pillowcases extend the frame across all four sides. The tone sits between silver and grey, reflective enough to catch light, neutral enough to move between warm and cool palettes without friction. It is the most versatile design in the range and the one most specifiers come back to.
Description
Pewter introduces depth through tone rather than contrast, allowing the surface of the quilt cover to carry subtle variation across the fabric. The colour sits between grey and charcoal, giving the bed a more layered appearance.
Used across the full width of the bed, it adds weight without heaviness, maintaining balance while creating a more dimensional finish.

Fabric & construction
The cover
The Classique quilt cover is cut from 400TC single-ply long-staple cotton sateen, smooth and light-catching without the heaviness of multi-ply fabrics. A 7.5cm flange is top-stitched on all four sides, adding structure and drape to the cover on the bed. The hidden button closure sits at the top, keeping the front face clean. The cover softens progressively with each wash while holding its shape over time.
The embroidery
The embroidery forms a complete frame when the bed is made, positioned along the sides and base with a clean, unworked top edge. Each corner is stitched as a defined point, keeping the geometry precise. Pewter's tonal quality allows it to move between palettes, it works equally with warm, cool or layered interiors without asking you to rethink what surrounds it. The rayon thread gives the pewter a reflective quality that sits between silver and grey, catching light differently depending on the room.
A colour that works across everything. You don't have to rethink the room around it.

Care
Wash cold or warm
30–40°C on a gentle cycle. Use liquid detergent only — powder detergents and fabric softeners coat the cotton fibres and gradually dull the sateen surface and reduce its natural breathability over time.
Tumble dry medium
Remove while still slightly damp. The sateen surface smooths naturally as the fabric cools, reducing the need for ironing. Avoid over-drying — heat-set creases are harder to remove than those from line drying.
Improves with washing
Long-staple cotton settles into the weave with each wash, becoming progressively smoother and softer over time. The viscose rayon embroidery thread is colourfast and maintains its depth wash after wash.
Common questions
What is included in the quilt cover set?
Each set includes one quilt cover (also known as a duvet cover) and two standard pillowcases (50 × 75 cm), available in Queen, King and Super King sizes. The quilt cover features a concealed button closure, while the pillowcases are finished with an envelope closure. A flat sheet and additional pillowcases are available separately within the Classique Bed Linen.
Where does the embroidery sit on the duvet cover and pillowcases?
On the quilt cover, two satin stitch lines run down both sides and across the base, meeting at each lower corner in a defined corner motif. The underside of the cover is left plain, with the concealed button placket positioned on the reverse. On the pillowcases, the satin stitch continues along all four sides, with a corner motif at each corner. When the bed is fully made, the embroidery frames it from every angle.
Why a hidden button closure rather than a zip?
A zip requires a reinforced seam that interrupts the clean line of the embroidered base. Zips also introduce a rigid component into the fabricwhich over time they can warp, catch on the weave or fail under tension, particularly when the duvet insert is being put in or removed. The Classique quilt cover uses a hidden button closure instead. The buttons sit flush within a concealed placket on the back face at the bottom of the cover, away from the embroidered sides and base entirely. This placement protects the buttons from direct stress during use and washing, keeping them enclosed and reducing the risk of damage or snagging. They are not visible when the bed is made and have no effect on the embroidered design.
What size quilt insert fits this cover?
Use a quilt insert that matches the cover size. Queen insert for the Queen cover, King for King, Super King for Super King. Australian quilt insert dimensions are standardised to match these covers. Using an oversized insert will strain the button closure; using an undersized insert will cause the cover to bunch and lose its shape on the bed. For full sizing guidance see our Australian bed linen size guide.
Does this quilt cover work with the Classique flat sheet set?
Yes the Classique range is designed to layer together. The quilt cover and matching flat sheet set are cut from the same 400TC long-staple cotton sateen and use the same colourfast viscose rayon embroidery thread, so the embroidery reads consistently across the complete bed.
Will the pewter embroidery maintain its tone over time?
Pewter is designed as a balanced, neutral tone that adapts to its environment. The colourfast rayon thread maintains its clarity through washing without dulling or shifting. Its reflective quality is the characteristic that makes it move between warm and cool palettes. This is retained because it comes from the thread construction rather than a surface treatment.
