I bought the whole set (duvet, sheets, pillows, shams). While the set looks nice, it isn't the best quality.The sheets are very thin and rough.I washed them and they came out with wrinkles that would absolutely NOT come out.I had to end up re-washing them and drying each piece separately, then ironing them.They're still not wrinkle free, but a huge improvement.I doubt I'll ever use the sheets again, they're just too labor intensive and they don't feel good when in them!

Pinzon Birds Sheet SetProduct Description: Pinzon's Birds sheet set adds elegance and sparkle to the bedroom. Expertly woven in Portugal of 300-thread-count Egyptian cotton, the solid white set features small, black embroidered scrolls and clear crystals centered just under the hem of the flat sheet and on the hem of the pillowcases. The hems are offset with black stitching. Durable and easy to care for, the sheets can be washed and dried at home. The queen set includes one 100-by-102-inch flat sheet, one 60-by-80-inch fitted sheet and two 20-by-30-inch standard pillowcases. The fitted sheet is designed with elastic all around for a snug grip and will fit deep, luxury mattresses up to 16-inches thick. Made to coordinate with the Pinzon Birds Egyptian Cotton Bedding Collection, the sheets will also confidently stand on their own to enhance most any bedding and decor. They are also available with gold stitching for decorating options.
Fabric Definitions Egyptian Cotton: Egyptian cotton is used to make some of the highest quality linens in the world, including sumptuously soft bath and bed linens. Egyptian cotton is grown to produce a longer staple, or fiber, than generic cotton, and the longer and finer a cotton staple is, the better able it is to be spun into finer count yarns, which in turn can be knitted or woven into soft, fine, and luxurious fabrics. The staple length in Egyptian cotton averages 1-1/8 to 1-1/2 inches, but can reach over 2-1/4 inches, which is twice the size of a generic cotton fiber. Products which highlight construction of Egyptian cotton are usually referring to the extra-long-staple cotton produced largely in the Nile River Valley. The humidity and rich soil around the Nile delta produce especially long cotton fibers, which are fine and vary from a light cream to dark tan color. Egyptian cotton is strong, durable and, if cared for properly, will be long lasting.

History of the RegionPortugal's major textile factories are located in Guimaraes, which is known as the "cradle" or "birth city" of Portugal, since it is home to the castle of Portugal's first king. As one of the country's most historic cities with well-preserved monuments, Guimaraes is a popular tourist attraction. Among other sites to see are two squares with outdoor cafes and balconied houses, called Praça de Santiago and Largo da Oliveira. At Largo da Oliveira are the old Town Hall and the Church of Nossa Senhora da Oliveira, with a Gothic shrine erected in 1340 standing before it. There are many legends about its origins, but a popular story says it marks the spot where Wamba, elected king of the Visigoths, refused his title and drove a pole into the ground swearing that he would not reign until it blossomed, and it sprouted immediately. Guimaraes hosts an annual 3-day festival of medieval art and costume in the first week of August, which dates from the middle of the 15th century and includes a torchlight procession and a medieval parade. Not only renowned for textiles and historical sites, Guimaraes is in the heart of the "Vinho Verde" region, so called for its locally produced fresh, young "green wines."

Received the set 5 days after ordering. It was exactly what I expected. Nice piping, tassles, and other details indicative of higher end sets. Rich texture, luxurious feel, good quality. Bed skirt comes pre-split for bed posts (a nice feature. Comforter actually fit the bed (not too narrow-no sheet showing at the sides)! Color very similar to pictures. Came with 2 king size shams (some king sets come with standard pillow size shams) and 2 euro pillows. The euro pillows are OK for double or maybe queen bed, but too small for my king bed. Will order an extra euro pillow. Overall,very pleased with purchase.
