LA Good Question: Cheaper Version of This Bedding?

050908_anth.jpgHi AT LA,

I have a question. When I first saw the Anthropologie Cirrus duvet in this Small Cool
2008 entry
I had to have it. But I don't have $200 to shell out. Do you or any of your readers know where I could buy a similar duvet that costs less?

--Emily

Hi Emily--We haven't seen anything similar but we totally get why you want it, and why you want it cheaper. Readers? Anyone? For reference, here's the duvet on the Anthropologie site.

West Elm has similar bedding: Organic Pleated Bedding.

This is a quilt, not a duvet, but it's still pretty-- and on sale:

I saw some similar fabric at Joann's recently- you might be able to make one cheaply.

Target's Shabby Chic line has something similar, but with less smocking. It's called the Smocked Duvet Set. It's on sale right now online - $76 for king and less for smaller sizes and free shipping (go through ebates and you can get some $$ back too). It's in the brick & morter shops and I have looked at it a lot, but I'm on the fence. I don't know the quality of this line, but it seems to have gotten good reviews on Target.com. Link is below.

That's funny, my duvet looks just like that!

I got mine at Bed Bath & Beyond, but it was a few years ago. I don't know if they still have it. I spent $80, if I remember correctly.

I also have a duvet very similar to this which I bought HERE for under $100. Sadly, it appears to now be out of stock but perhaps you call them, bug 'em, and get them to search their warehouse.

Good luck!

I agree with Robyn -- just keep checking Anthropologie web site until it goes on sale. It will take a few months from when it was first introduced; but when they go on sale, they are $99.

I purchased a very similar version of that duvet (in pale green) at anthro last year/2 years ago. It was on sale for $86ish. Totally worth it in my opinion - it has even made a trip or two through the wash and held up fine.

Hi guys,
Thanks for the suggestions. This was my question, and with any luck, I'll have the Anthro duvet or one similar to it soon.

Thanks again!

You could always check around for Austrian curtain panels and sew them on top of a plain duvet.

I just grabbed a few, but there are sure to be other colors and materials that you might like that could go on something you already own.

For that matter, if you find a panel of the right size(s), you could simply drape the panel over top of anything.
