In fact, it's the 'fastening' end of a French duvet cover. I use inverted commas, because it doesn't actually fasten...
... you just have to tuck it in. I find this pretty useless, I'm afraid - am I doing something wrong? I do miss dear old British buttons and poppers.
But the duvet cover itself, which is a very eco-friendly and comfortable bamboo fibre, is great!

Hmmmm tucking in seems a bit odd! I have a few pillowcases that don't have an envelope bit and you just have to tuck them in as best you can and I do find it a bit of a struggle keeping them under control! Your bed looks very pretty :)

Your bed looks lovely Floss. You can buy 'popper strips' where the poppers are attached to a strip which you sew on, you could sew some onto the cover to keep it closed..Have a great weekend xx
I have bought French bedlinen and I don't understand either? Good idea having a French themed display - may try to pick up a few pieces when we're next there.xx
Looks confusing - think I'd have to agree, poppers or buttons any day!
'fastening covers' - about as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike I should think! how about a strip of velcro that might make life easier.
Oh good grief, I couldn't cope with that either. All my bedlinen in France is from England, not specifically bought for it, but stuff I had here anyway. But I do love the old antique French linen sheets, they are the best, unbeatable.
Almost forgot to say, I was thrilled to bits to see my little lavender bag in that photo! I am so happy you still like it.
Must be a euro thing - little son has covered from Ikea - they don't have any fastenings - ok for him as we tuck the end of the duvet under the mattress - would be no good for anyone longer than him though.
I find the tuck in bit perfect - but then I do sleep in an old French bed with wooden ends - I can imagine it wouldn't work so well on a modern divan! My friend Sue has the tuck-in cut off and buttons and buttonholes put on hers!
You could always just add some velcro to keep things closed, which would make it easier. The boys are loving the jigsaw, thanks again
OK, so maybe it tucks into the bed, and not into itself..? Perhaps this is beginning to make sense. Thanks, Pearly Queen (a fellow France-dweller)!
Hi Floss - just popping by to wish you and your family a happy weekend -

Could it be some sort of tie to a part of the bed? This is a mystery. Hmmmm
Love the the bedlinen, I hate those tuck in bits.....they never work. I've had them on duvets in hotels, OH always gets really cross by them.. :) x
