LOVE THEM..PLEASE READ ON CARE INSTRUCTIONS
I FELL IN LOVE WITH THESE AT THE HIGHLAND PARK STORE (DALLAS,TX.) WENT TO REVIEWS AND ALMOST DIDN'T BUY BECAUSE OF THE BAD REMARKS. BUT COULDN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT THEM. I WENT WITH MY GUT INSTINCT AND AM SO HAPPY I PURCHASED.COLORS ARE VIBRANT. I WASHED MINE AND OF COURSE I WAS WAITING FOR ALL THE THINGS TO HAPPEN THAT WAS STATED BY PREVIOUS OWNERS. I WASHED MINE IN COLD WATER, WOOLITE, AND PUT DOWNEY FABRIC SOFTNER IN THE "WASH" AND THE RINSE CYCLE.DRIED ON LOW HEAT AND THEY CAME OUT PERFECT!!!!! THEY ARE SOFT AND "NO" WRINKLES.LOVE THEM!!!!

luxury for the eye and body
I was quite intgrigued with these Marimekko Ginkgo and Biloba Bed Linens when I saw them in a catalog and online--then I saw them in person in a Crate & Barrel store while visiting a friend in another state. Once I touched the surface of the fabric I was hooked. I couldn't get them out of my mind. I live in a city where there are many Frank Lloyd Wright buildings--and the ginkgo tree stands outside at least one of his famous homes--so I have always associated this beautiful leaf with great design concepts. It seemed only fitting that I should have all the linens and duvet cover--and I am so happy to enjoy them daily. They are pure luxury for the eye and body.

Helpful Sales People
I decided to change the entire bedroom after I found these linens. Not all were in stock in the store (not sure why they don't stock everything), but came within a week and everyone was helpful and it was easy! Looks beautiful and they are different that what you find anywhere else.
Not sure why a sham is priced so high. Should be 2 for the price of one. Just like a pillow case with easier stitching.

Love my new Ginkgo Biloba Duvet
I love my new kingsize Ginkgo Biloba Duvet, shams and pillowncases! I purchased them in saffron and they really light up our bedroom! After reading the previous reviews I checked with the online chat and the sales person in the store. They both said to use the gentle cycle. The pillow cases came out great. I have not washed the other items yet, but I am confident they will wash nicely as well.

Wish it feels as great as it looks
Purchased the Gingko & Biloba king duvet cover, sheet set, extra pillowcases and Loren Amber shams. Was sooo excited to get them on the bed and only took the time to wash the sheets and pillowcases. Lint filter was VERY full when load was dry. What went in as nice, stiff sheets came out limp. Concerned about what the duvet cover will look like when washed and dried.
Have purchased many things from Crate & Barrel. Will stick to furniture, kitchen items and decorative pieces; no more bed linens.

Poor Quality Fabric
Beautiful design and colors but when washed the fabric was very itchy and poor quality.
