BACKSTORY:
The word duvet comes from French meaning 'down' and it is a type of bedding consisting of a soft flat sack/container filled with down, feathers, wool, silk or a synthetic alternative. Typically left with no attractive cover, it needs to be protected with a removable cover, analogous to the pillow/pillow case scenario. Users often use their duvet without a top bed sheet, as the duvet cover can readily be removed and washed together and as often as the bottom sheet. Duvets originated in Europe and were filled with the down feathers of ducks or geese. The eider duck offered the best quality, as its down is most effective as a thermal insulator.

Tie & dye/Tie-dye is a modern term for a set of ancient resist-dyeing techniques, and for the products of these processes. Typically, the process of tie-dye consists of folding, twisting, pleating, or crumpling fabric or clothing and binding with string or rubber bands, followed by dye application. Tie & dye/Tie-dye techniques have been used for centuries in West Africa by the Hausa people, renowned for their indigo dye pits.
