Spanish term or phrase: unión clip de serie
There reference is to a light duvet cover that can be used with a heavier duvet cover and comes "equipados con unión clip de serie", to do so. Unfortunately, that´s all the information I have...

Explanation:
In cases like this one, I would steer away from literal translations.

I have a four/all seasons duvet and they are joined together by press studs: one sewn on each corner and the others in the the middle of each side.

The Slumberdown All Seasons 3 in 1 duvet is made up of 2 separate duvets; one extra cool 4.5 tog duvet and one cosy 10.5 tog. Clipped together, they make an extra warm and snuggly 15 tog duvet. Use the 4.5 tog for keeping cool on warm summer nights, the 10.5 tog on milder nights and them both together for when you need some extra warmth on cold winter nights.

The Four Seasons Duvet is made with two comforters of different thickness. They can be joined together to make a single duvet, giving options for all seasons. Thinner in summer, thicker in transitional seasons, and joined in winter. Both comforters are filled with tencel and Wellsleep advanced micro fibres.

The 'For All Seasons' Duvet by Brinkhaus is a highly versatile combination of duvets. The lighter duvet for summer and the heavier weight for autumn can be joined together with strong lightweight nickel-free press studs for extra warmth on those cold winter nights.

All seasons duvets are made with YKK press studs to allow them to be used together and easily separated for single use when the weather gets warmer.

I didn't mean to give a confidence level of '5' because someone might come up with a better solution.

You might prefer something along the lines of my last link: '...are made with press studs...'.

clip included


Explanation:
I think "de serie" could mean either "standard clip" or "included (as standard)." The former is less likely, as there wouldn't be a standard clip for holding duvets together. And I may be wrong, but I think strictly speaking it should be "equipados de serie con".

So you could translate the whole thing, "equipados con unión clip de serie", as "clip included".

neutral  philgoddard: But what about "de serie"?
13 hrs
  -> This is one of the very few occasions when I'd omit info. All the four-season duvets I've seen have been joined by press studs of some kind. It's a bit like saying 'todos los coches vienen con neumáticos de serie'. Thank you for your opinion, Phil :-)
