Amazon.com Product Description

Pinzon's Fleur Jacquard Egyptian cotton sateen duvet is both silky soft and elegant. It has a taupe-on-cream floral pattern on one side that reverses to the same pattern in cream on taupe. The duvet accessorizes marvelously with other striped and floral pieces from the Fleur Jacquard collection, or mixes beautifully with Pinzon's Diamond Matelasse accessories. Expertly sewn in Portugal from 100-percent Egyptian cotton single-ply yarns, the duvet is made with 270 threads per inch and is offered in a choice of colors and sizes. This duvet measures 92 by 106 inches to fit king beds and it's safe to clean at home in the washer and dryer. It has a hidden button closure.

The Fabric
Egyptian Cotton: Egyptian cotton is used to make some of the highest quality linens in the world, including sumptuously soft bath and bed linens. Egyptian cotton is grown to produce a longer staple, or fiber, than generic cotton, and the longer and finer a cotton staple is, the better able it is to be spun into finer count yarns, which in turn can be knitted or woven into soft, fine, and luxurious fabrics. The staple length in Egyptian cotton averages 1-1/8 to 1-1/2 inches, but can reach over 2-1/4 inches, which is twice the size of a generic cotton fiber. Products which highlight construction of Egyptian cotton are usually referring to the extra-long-staple cotton produced largely in the Nile River Valley. The humidity and rich soil around the Nile delta produce especially long cotton fibers, which are fine and vary from a light cream to dark tan color. Egyptian cotton is strong, durable and, if cared for properly, will be long lasting.

Sateen: Sateen fabric has a supremely soft, satin-like finish resulting from a four-over-one thread weave. Standard weaves, like percale, use a one-over, one-under stitch. The four-over weave puts more threads nearer the surface, resulting in a softer, warmer surface. Sateen fabrics are most often made of mercerized cotton, but can be made of other fabrics, including cotton blends, polyester, and rayon. Mercerized threads give sateen fabrics a higher luster. Mercerization, named for process-creator John Mercer, involves treating threads with a cold concentrated sodium hydroxide solution. Mercerization also increases strength, dyeability, and resistance to mildew, as well as reduces lint. Sateens can be produced in light and heavy weights, and are ideal for bedding.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely bedding set, October 29, 2007

This review is from: Pinzon Fleur Jacquard Egyptian Cotton Sateen King Duvet Cover, French Blue/Chocolate (Kitchen)

I continue to be impressed with the quality of the high end products in the Pinzon line (see my reviews for the bamboo towels, velvet flannel, etc.). I ordered this bedding collection with sheets, duvet, shams, etc. and the fabric is high quality, the craftsmanship is very good, and the extra touch of the reversible shams (which you can't really tell from the pictures) were a very nice surprise. It coordinates very well with chocolate and lighter browns if you've got those colors already in your room. I took it out of the dryer promptly and avoided ironing which is always a plus for me. I have paid a lot more in the past for this type of quality.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, October 16, 2009

This review is from: Pinzon Fleur Jacquard Woven Duvet (Kitchen)

Bought this and the matching shams for my king sized down comforter. I really appreciated the luxuriousness of the fabric and the lovely contrast of stripes on the reverse side of the duvet but I was disappointed on 2 counts:

1) it was so huge--both the duvet cover and shams. I even doubled-checked the packaging to make sure I didn't mistakenly order a California King size. There was a lot of excess fabric along the sides and at the bottom of the duvet...so much so that my standard-sized king comforter was swimming around inside and constantly shifting and bunching up. As such, it didn't look as nice at the picture indicated. Same with the pillows.

2) the colors of the sham and duvet didn't quite match each other. It was almost as though they were not dyed in the same batch--the shams were lighter in color than the duvet. The color was less blue than I was hoping for too...more of a lilac purple.

This review is from: Pinzon Fleur Jacquard Egyptian Cotton Sateen King Duvet Cover, Taupe/Cream (Kitchen)

I had been looking for the "right" duvet for months, and i found it in this! the picture is detailed, but it looks much nicer in person. it's soft, easy to clean and, the best part is, none of my animals leave and claw marks or little "hooks" with their nails. And, you can't really tell from the picture, but it's reversible!! i love it! i bought some matching cream sheets and it's such a warm and inviting place. totally worth it. i got the king and it is perfect.
