Not yet sure
I love Crate and Barrel, Marimekko and blue and white color schemes. Therefore, I bought these sheets even though in the past I have never paid full price for sheets. I have just washed the new sheets before putting them on the bed and am curious about the sheen and weave of the fabric. It is a very silky cotton and a little thin. Nevertheless, given the other good reviews, I am going to keep these and hope that on the bed I will be totally in love with them. It's just a little too early to tell yet.

wonderful sheets
these soft, finely woven sheets are silky smooth against your skin, and the blue ginko leaves are even prettier in person than on the web page. They have changed the whole look of my guest room- into a very welcome space!

Couldn't Be Happier
I got the duvet cover and shams in the blue design and I'm totally in love with them. They added a fresh look and the gingko leaves are very big which adds to the whimsical and bright look. Our master bedroom walls are chocolate brown and we really needed a simple, airy pattern. This does the trick!
The fabric has a sheen and quality feel. Great buy!!

Beautiful pattern
The bright blue and ginko pattern instantly transformed my room and made it spring like. However, the sheets and cases are a little rough especially for the price. The duvet was softer with a slight sheen.

Beautiful design
Scratchy texture....I washed the sheets twice and dried in the drier with several fabric softening sheets. They're better. but still not very soft for bedsheets.....maybe over time.

Best Purchase
The sheets and duvet cover are stunning. The ginko biloba leaf is so unusual and dramatic. The sheets and pillow cases have a smaller leaf pattern than the duvet cover. The duvet cover just pops but does not overwhelm the room. The blue ginko leaf against the white background makes a clean and fresh effect that brightens up the bedroom.

Beautiful!
The duvet and shams are absolutely gorgeous. The colors are wonderful for the room. Material feels very good quality. Yes, it did require ironing after that initial wash, but so did another duvet I already had in the master bedroom, I think that's just the nature of this type of fabric.

Lovely design
Love the design but sheets could be softer. They do not seem to be sateen and are relatively coarse compared to other sheets of comparable descriptions. They do, however, look beautiful.

Lovely design
These sheets are like sleeping surrounded by artwork. Wonderfully comfortable as well. Brighten the bedroom. Great value.

Love the design
I really like the duve, shams (and sheets set). The only issue is that they come out quite wrinkled and I had to iron the duvet & shams. If I didn't love the pattern so much this would have been a deal breaker.
