Lucky Duc

You can't help it – you're drawn to the classics. You like plaid, you think the ABCs are perfect for your wee one's nursery, and you have nothing against pink and blue.

But you've also got a few surprises up your sleeve: you wear your pearls with a vintage rock tee (never a cashmere twinset) and you'll dress in Lilly Pulitzer as long as it's a 70s original.

This new line of crib bedding from ducduc is tailor-made for you, with sheets, bumpers and blankets that offer an original twist on the classics. The 300-count all-cotton sateen bedding comes in three patterns: Alphabet, with funky hand drawn letters; Plaidness, a bold take on tradition with wavy uneven lines in bright pink or deep blue; and a signature stripe, with colored lines and angles on a white background. Linens come in full sets, or individual fitted sheets, allowing you the freedom to create your own unique combinations.

Blankets, in knit cotton or soft merino wool, pair pinks and blues with unexpected oranges and browns, and come printed with B for boy or G for girl, a bold magnolia, or a hand-drawn alphabet print.

Ducduc was founded in 2005 with an emphasis on style and environmentally-friendly materials and methods. Ten percent of profits go directly to children's charities.

Now there's no need to check your style at the nursery room door.
