I was skeptical when purchasing this duvet because I wasn’t sure if it would be soft enough or actually “breathable”. I was soo pleasantly surprised by it! The texture is like butter! It’s my favorite duvet iv’e ever owned by far. The color was a little more vibrant than I expected but I’m sure over a few washes it will present closer to the picture, more worn in. I love it. I’ll buy another color for sure.
