Excellent quality and lovely blue colour. Both sides of the duvet cover and the shams are the same fabric which makes it very easy to co-ordinate with sheets and pillow cases. Good sturdy fabric that washes well and does not require ironing - very important if you sleep European style with no top sheet but wash you duvet cover frequently. The duvet cover has a flap at the closing like a pillow case to ensure the duvet does not peak out at the bottom.
