DEAREST VIOLET

During the summer I reverted to traditional sheets and wool blankets as I was fed up with overheating under the duvet. I’d forgotten how much smoother the old-fashioned, tucked in style of bedding is, and how it stays smooth for days on end. There is no bunching or rucking or clumping in the wrong places. And no overheating either! I’ll save the duvet for mid-winter. But what about spring and autumn? I remembered we used to have eiderdowns so I set about looking for one. Most new ones were either ridiculously expensive or “price on application”, but then I found Dearest Violet with clear information on pricing and a nice choice of fabrics. I loved the idea of real silk. I wavered between the blue and honey, but decided that the honey, a more neutral and warmer colour, would be a better investment. The two-month wait is well worth it. It means that my lovely eiderdown has arrived just in time for the colder nights. It is important to protect silk from sun and light damage by covering it with a bedspread during the day time.

I unboxed it, fluffed it up and was immediately transported back in time to my childhood and my Grandparents by its unique feel and sound - a million memories and emotions brought to the surface by this exquisite item. The material has a lovely 'old English' cottage feel, beautifully made and just an absolute glory. I love, love, love it!! I'm now looking at buying another with a more 'wintery' material. I've got a feeling I could be starting a collection. Definitely will be looking at the mini quilts as my little dog is infatuated with it too. Lucy, thank you so much, it's wonderful and I will treasure always and can't wait to jump into bed tonight xx

I stumbled upon Lucy’s website almost by accident but I’m so glad I did. The eiderdown arrived today and it is the most gorgeous thing I’ve seen for an age. It’s top quality and worth every penny. You can see the skill and time taken in every stitch and I absolutely adore it.

I have just received two beautiful eiderdowns a cream one & an almond one in silk satin, absolutely gorgeous the quality is amazing they are just as beautiful as the pictures on the site. Spoke to Lucy who was quick to reply to my emails, they came within the time too. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase thank you.

My eiderdown is absolutely perfect and beautifully made - I adore it! I ordered in-stock and it was dispatched the very next day. Thank you! 🩷
