Duvet covers of the 80’s

Just looking at my dog sleeping on his bed & I'm reminded of the ‘snatch’ duvet cover I had in the 80’s.
Which then made me remember the cartoon worzel gummidge & aunt sally one I had.
The pillowslip had worzel one side & aunt sally the other. Sadly I can’t find a pic of it, did anyone else have it?
I also had a Victoria Plum one with matching curtains as a small child.

Any other classics I’ve missed?

Pierrot! I had the duvet governors plus a jewellery holder and posters.

Tsch! Cover not governors. I hate my phone.

My parents had an old Love Is... pillowcase, I guess you get duvet covers that matched?

I was always jealous of my brothers Star Wars one as Han Solo's face was on the pillow where my head would rest so I could have snogged him Grin

My best friend had a playboy bunny one on her bed. I don't think her mum can have known what it was!

Allschoolsareartschools · 07/09/2022 19:22

Came on to say Pierrot! I was so jealous of a friends' bedroom all done up in it.
Another friend a bright blue cover with fluffy clouds on, that was so nice. Loved sitting on her bed listening to UB40 's Labour of Love & talking about Michael J Fox!!

wibblewobbleball · 07/09/2022 19:22

90s but I had the snatch dog, forever friends, the hedgehogs which were similar to forever friends, and a Care Bears one.

Saucery · 07/09/2022 19:23

I had Forever Friends and various geometric designs.

OhhhhhhhhBiscuits · 07/09/2022 19:23

I still have my 80s care bears duvet cover and my kids have used it. The quality of it is amazing! So soft and nothing like the ones you get now.
