Title
Description

Orcia is a quilted cover rather than a flat one, so it does the work a bedspread would normally do. The mitred border runs down both sides and adds 16cm to the finished width, which is what gives it a proper drop over a deeper mattress instead of stopping short at the mattress edge.

Used alone through the warmer months it is enough cover on its own. Through winter it sits as the top layer over a quilt without the bed looking overloaded.

What's included

Each quilt cover set includes one quilted quilt cover and a matching pair of quilted pillowcases with concealed button placket closures.

European and bordered pillowcases are sold separately and share the same quilting and piped finish.

The border

The quilted panel is framed by a plain mitred border, 80mm deep. Mitred means the corners are joined at 45 degrees so the border turns cleanly rather than one side overlapping the other, and our specification requires every mitre to be even and accurate to a true 90 degree outer edge. Top stitching runs 1mm in from the turned edge. Because the border runs down both sides of the cover it adds 16cm to the finished width, and that width is what gives it a proper drop over a deeper mattress.

The piping and closure

A covered corded piping is set into the border seam, made over a 1.5mm soft cord so it holds a defined line without stiffening the edge. The closure is concealed buttons on a placket rather than an exposed row: 16mm and 18mm colour matched, non-corrosive, each stitched off so the thread cannot unravel. Nothing interrupts the quilted face.

The border is 80mm. There are two of them, which is where the extra 16cm of width comes from, and the width is the whole point.

Machine wash warm at 40C

Wash with a mild liquid detergent and rinse well. Avoid fabric softeners, which coat cotton fibres and dull the sateen surface over time.

Machine or line dry

Line dry out of direct sunlight, or tumble on a low setting.

Do not bleach

Bleach and optical brighteners are not suitable for the sateen face or the piping cord.


Frequently Asked Questions

What is Palazzo quilting?
Palazzo is the name of the all over quilting pattern used on Orcia. The pattern is stitched across the face of the cover rather than printed onto the cloth, so the design comes from the construction of the surface itself.
Why can Orcia be used as both a quilt cover and a lighter bed covering?
Orcia has a lightweight padding held within its quilted construction, so it retains body even when there is no quilt inside. In warmer weather the quilt can be removed and Orcia used as the top layer on its own.
Will the padding move or bunch when Orcia is washed?
The padding is held in place by quilting across the face of the cover rather than sitting loose between the layers. This keeps it distributed throughout the quilted sections during use and washing.
How should I wash and dry Orcia?
Machine wash at 30 to 40°C with a mild liquid detergent and rinse well. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach and optical brighteners. Give the cover room to move in the machine, then line dry out of direct sunlight or tumble on a low setting.
