Pure cotton duvet covers

Even if the weather outside is grey, here's a way to ensure you can wake up to a sunny outlook any time of the year.

|
Our soft and comfortable 100% cotton duvet covers offer a better night's sleep than polyesters and synthetics.

 These joyful designs are achieved because of an unusual application of the batik «lost wax» process.
Always for batik, hot wax is used to apply a design to fabric before it goes into a dyeing vat. Most often, that wax is applied with a brush.
What then happens is that in the dyeing vat colour will not adhere to the waxed areas.
|
| Our unusual batik technique is that instead of a brush the wax is applied to the fabric by the use of wooden blocks.
The waxed small wooden blocks are pressed onto the fabric one at a time by a skilled craftmaker.
This process is similar to hand block-printing except that instead of ink it is wax that is impacted onto the fabric.
Because of this block-printing method, quite detailed patterns can appear in the eventual batik.
|
| After the application of the wax, the fabric goes into the dyeing vat and the waxed areas remain undyed.
Finally, the dyed fabric receives a hot wash and it is then that the wax disappears («lost wax») – leaving the result you see here.
White is where wax had been block-printed onto the fabric.

Please understand that slight size and colour variations are a characteristic of hand craft; precise colour accuracy online also depends in part on the colour calibration of computers and monitors.
