The incredibly fine weave of this 100% pure Egyptian cotton sateen is virtually impossible to discern with the naked eye. The reason is an unprecedented 1000 thread count, the softest we have found anywhere in the world. Made in Italy in White or Cream, with hemstitched flanges and button enclosures on the shams and duvet covers, the luster and feel is truly as soft and smooth as precious silk. Though it needs no adornment, custom embroideries are available on request.
