duvet Explanation: A duvet (pronounced /duːveɪ/, from the French duvet /dyvɛ/ "down") is a type of bedding— a soft flat bag traditionally filled with down or feathers, or a combination of both and used on a bed as a blanket. Duvets originally came out of rural Europe and were made of Eider, a type of duck's down, which is well known for its usefulness as an insulator. |

quilted bolero Explanation: It's just a guess. It looks quilted, but a gorgeous naked back is not going to be covered by a duvet coat, is my guess. The site below has a rather stunning design which is the closest I can picture as elegance when referring to...duvets??!

duvet coats Explanation: The big padded coats otherwise known as "piumini" http://www.furs.com/1999/FurAge122.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 mins (2006-08-02 08:53:08 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://shopping.msn.it/cat/Giubbotti-Uomo.html?marca=ME COLL... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2006-08-02 12:28:52 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Seeing other Claire's answer below made me think that perhaps duvet jacket or short duvet jacket is more appropriate. They are also known as down jackets. Impossible to tell whether it is a bolero or not, without seeing the picture, which they obviously haven't given you!! |
