This linen duvet and shams are exactly what I needed. I had ordered another, but the navy was almost gray so I returned it. On-line it’s hard to know for sure- but this one was the inky navy I needed to compliment the headboard I made.  I was also worried it may be rough to the touch as linen sometimes is. That is not the case. It is very soft and sleeps so nice and cool!  Also, some reviews said they had issues with size on the shams. Mine are perfect. It also DOES have inner ties (some said no). All in all very happy with this purchase and would certainly recommend. FYI I was considering a linen duvet  from a popular store that was 3 times the price, glad I pulled this trigger
