What a dohar is
Not a comforter and not a bedspread. A dohar is three layers of light cotton quilted together - two printed voile faces with soft flannel in the middle - designed for a hot climate and, in practice, for an air-conditioned bedroom. It is warm enough to sleep under and light enough that you do not push it off at two in the morning. At 1.75 kg across a full king it weighs about a third of what a filled comforter does.
Why this one
Block-printed rather than screen-printed. The pattern is carved into a wooden block and stamped onto the cloth by hand, one repeat at a time, which is why the registration wanders very slightly and the colour sits in the fibre instead of on top of it. It is fully reversible - the second face is a different print, not a plain backing - so one quilt gives you two rooms.
Which design
Eight designs at 104 x 84 inches. Patchwork is the multicolour one, red, navy and tan squares. Paisley is a cream ground with small blue paisley buds. Palm is rust and brown palm trees. Elephant is blue elephants and umbrellas. Snapdragon, Blossom, Oasis and Daisy are the four florals - a white ground with blue teardrops, a teal floral with a pink border, a blue and cream vine, and a dense pink floral. The photographs run in the same order as the dropdown, and each design has its own reverse print shown in the folded shots.
Where it works
Over a king or a queen bed as the top layer - on a queen it hangs generously on both sides. As the summer replacement for a duvet. Folded across the foot of the bed for colour. On a sofa as the throw everyone reaches for. In a guest room, where reversible means you can flip it between visitors instead of laundering it.
Gifting
A quilt is one of the few gifts that works for a wedding, a housewarming and a fiftieth birthday without adjustment, and reversible means the recipient's taste only has to match one of the two faces. Tell us at checkout if you are sending it directly and we will leave the invoice out.
