I love collecting and using duvets on my down comforter. I was excited to use this because I love the raised white fringe design sewn into the top of the duvet. And I was also delighted to see that the inside of the duvet included sewn-in ties to secure the duvet to the comforter. 

However, the flax and cotton fabric resembles linen. And like some linens the fabric has a looser weave and is rougher to the touch. Compared to my high count cotton sheets, this duvet is scratchy and not very comfortable which may not be an issue for some people as a top sheet should be a barrier. But my sheet barrier is always short-lived as I enviably lose/bury my sheet throughout the night, so I’m left with a not too comfortable duvet.  What a shame because it is super pretty!
