Quadrille-Inspired Bedding by Z Gallerie?

I ran across Z Gallerie's new Zuri bedding and instantly felt like the fabrics used were familiar. As it turns out, both the ikat and the zig zag patterns are pretty similar to two of Quadrille's signature prints, Kazak and Tashkent II.


Here is Quadrille's Kazak print which resembles the duvet and standard shams...

And they have a nifty two-toned Tashkent II that in a blue colorway, would look quite like the fabric Z Gallerie used for the euro shams...

Dear Quadrille, please provide LARGER photos on your website...thanks :)

Wherever their inspiration came from, I like the Zuri bedding, however, I wouldn't use the whole set since it's the print is so bold and saturated. All together it looks too busy but when paired with crisp white sheets like Serena & Lily's Navy Gobi Embroidered set and a simple coverlet or quilt like Donna Karan Home's Quilt. I really like the zig zag euro shams best and could skip the ikat altogether and go with a floral accent pillow like the Finishing Flourish pillow from Anthro...


What do you think of the Zuri bedding? Do you think that ZG might have knocked off Quadrille? Both ikat and zig zags have been trendy patterns over the past few years so they might have come up with it independently.

Also, if you do like the bedding, would you use the ikat and the zig zag together or would you divert from the ethnic pattern family and go with a floral like I did above?

  1. ah, so true! i still like quadrilles just a hair more (who wouldnt love the original) but if you want the same look for less, i'd totally pick up the z-gallerie version - knock off and all

  2. I do like the bedding, but I think I would mix it up a little. Its a little to match-y for me. I like how Quadrille used other interesting patterns mixed with a solid.

  4. ah, loved this post! i just got new bedding and a new rug for my bedroom and was having second thoughts about mixing patterns.
    duvet is west elm's yellow bazzar ikat duvet
    rug is urban outfitters gray zig zag rug
    and our walls are a dark grayish navy
    i love it together but now, i'm trying to figure out pattern/solid curtains.
