Love, love, love this duvet set.  Quality all the way. For the price I expected the pillows to be skimpy but the details are beautiful. Lots of ruching, and pleating much more detail then the picture shows.  I looked for 2 days for a stripe duvet that didn't look nautical.  I wanted soft blues and true white. There are subtle touches of navy. The weave almost gives the blue a chambray quality.  I love the nubby fringe.  It washed beautifully. One very important thing. If you are looking for a crisp smooth look this is not for you.  It has a soft, handkerchief feel and I love it.
