Very find hand for feel and texture of smooth sateen that is key to the purchase of a soft set of Italian sheets. Matching duvet cover is available with pillow shams showing a smaller border. That is nice if always struggling to keep that flange straight. Embroidery thread in complementary color separates and binds the 2 fabrics together. White is the sheeting fabric. Email with questions, not always in stock we will email delivery time frame with each order.
