This duvet cover face is linen fabric which is made from the fibers of the flax plant and is stronger than normal cotton duvets. Not only is it smooth and cool to the touch but this linen is yarn dyed making the color woven into the pattern. There are some colors that have a slight texture because of the weaving pattern. This duvet features four internal corner ties toss secure the fill of your choosing, preventing it from bunching or shifting with use. The duvet also features a hidden button closure with gussets so prevent the fill from "peeking". The shams (available separately) are flanged, feature the same solid coordinating back and have a split back opening for ease of fill.
