This duvet set is absolutely the softest, most luxurious bedding set I have ever purchased. I purchased this for a friend, and she loves it! After seeing it on her bed, I purchased a different color for my guest room which my guests rave about! I now plan on buying one for our master bed. The velvet is soft right out of the bag and after being washed is even softer. It is high quality and well worth the money! It’s not too heavy either- so warm or cold it does the job!
