Beautiful, subtle print on a soft, quality fabric.  Good neutral colors, it's a true light grey and soft ivory.  The pillow shams were a little larger than my pillow inserts, but not a deal breaker.  I would have preferred a solid color or off-white backing -- instead of the stripe -- but it's growing on me.  Corner ties are inside and I prefer this zipper closure for inserting the duvet (instead of the more common buttons).
