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?

I had a Masters of the Universe one 😳I think my parents must have been given it or got it v cheap somewhere, although I did like the cartoon. I wanted one of the grey and red graphic print ones, like the richer ones in EastEnders and Brookside would have had 😄

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!!

Ahhh great days! Wish I could go back

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

The hedgehogs were country companions. I used to love those and forever friends.

Bigmistakebighuge · 07/09/2022 19:43

I always had beautiful but plain coloured bed linen as a child in the 80/90's but still haven't forgiven my parents for never getting me the Pound Puppy bed linen! Oh woe was me 😂

99redballoonsgobyy · 07/09/2022 19:43

I had the snatch bedding I remember you could get it in pink or blue. If you look through the old catalogues online many have been uploaded you can usually come across pictures of them on there, I recently seen the snatch bedding on there I think it was an old Argos catalogue maybe 1988/89 ish.
My brother had a willow the wisp duvet set which our dog decided to give birth on whilst we were out.
I remember my strawberry shortcake curtains.

Missmarps · 07/09/2022 19:44

Great thread OP

My whole bedroom was Garfield. Bright orange Garfield duvet set, orange curtains with hundreds of Garfields on, wallpaper to match.

You can't beat a bit of 80s chic 😁🐱

doris9034 · 07/09/2022 19:44

Strawberry Shortcake - and matching wallpaper

Bichette · 07/09/2022 19:46

I had this "country diary of an Edwardian lady" with matching curtains if you please.
