My husband organised the eiderdown as a surprise although I had found the website myself and thought it looked lovely, and I pointed my husband in its direction. Prompt and friendly communications from Lucy whenever he has any queries, and when the eiderdown arrived. - wow! Such a beautiful piece of work which adds a touch of glamour to the bed (and the whole room as a result) - not to mention it’s super comfortable and opulent - I absolutely love it and recommend to anyone. Wonderful to know it was handmade to order with care and skill.
Thank you!!
Merci Lucy Dearest Violets 💜 I’m over the moon 🌙 with my Toile’Eiderdown it is beautiful 💜 I will Treasure forever 💜
I know it's odd, but I've wanted a quilted eiderdown since I was a little girl. (I envied a gold silk eiderdown my friend's mom got in Austria in the 1970s). Quilted eiderdown's aren't common in the US, so for decades the thought of owning one myself seemed impossible. I am so happy to have stumbled upon Dearest Violet! I ordered a silk satin eiderdown in honey, and it's gorgeous! You can tell as soon as you see it that it's well made and will last a long time. I also love being able to support a woman-owned business. I'll be sure to recommend Dearest Violet to anyone I know looking for quality bedding. Thank you, Lucy!
I've bought 2 eidderdowns from Lucy so far and am extrenely happy with both of them. She is always ready to answer any question one might have and is always ready to send samples out.
I'll definitely come back for more!
I've just received this absolutely gorgeous eiderdown - beautifully and carefully packaged and very speedy delivery on completion of order, (my second from Lucy - I'm becoming an addict!) The velvet is so soft - I just want to keep stroking it. It is the perfect colour and feel for a winter bedroom snuggle, I'll probably end up taking it to the sofa for movie nights too as eiderdowns are so wonderful at keeping you warm but don't induce the duvet hot flushes. I would highly recommend Lucy's eiderdowns to everyone who want's a wonderful nights sleep without overheating with the added advantage of a unique and beautiful looking bed x
I have just received one of Lucy's beautiful eiderdowns. The photos do not do it justice. It is absolutely exquisite and looks amazing. It is also the perfect weight, I haven't slept so well for as long as I can remember. I am so glad I chose the Super King Size, it is most definitely worth every single penny. Even my cats approve as they now won't get off it! I shall treasure it for many years to come.
Thrilled to bits Lucy. Thank you so much,
Really looking forward to my cosy nights!
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! 🩷
Dear Lucy, Thank you very much much for the beautiful eiderdown, it’s looks absolutely stunning on the bed. Thank you again, it will be greatly treasured
