What owners single out
In their words
“Bought a queen set awhile back.(mostly because it was Made in Portugal). It's now been in use and washed quite a few times, getting even softer. The pretty color has not faded or changed a bit! The 2 sheets are definitely a bit oversized, but not the pillowcases (no pockets either); the fabric weight is about the same as the Italian percale we've always bought before.”

“Let me start by saying this was the first time I had ever spent this much on sheets and I am so disappointed. I bought the percale in “sand” which matched my bedding perfect. A beautiful “greige”. Each time I wash them they lose the color. Thought it was my eyes at first, but I have only washed them four time and they are now a pale mint green. I do not use harsh detergent with bleach either.”
