This duvet cover as most everything I wanted, organic, soft, high quality linen, corner ties inside. But I would love a zipper closure instead of the buttons. Seam doesn't lie flat with buttons and a zipper is easier to open and close.After debating this purchase for a long while I finally settled on this Magnolia Organics duvet and I am delighted with the choice. The fabric quality is evident, with the nice tight and smooth weave with maybe the slightest sateen finish. The seams are well sewn with quality thread. The fabric is not especially prone to wrinkling compared to other, low-quality budget items. I would definitely choose this again. I also own some Magnolia Organics sheets and have been similarly pleased with the quality. I would not hesitate to recommend. Price is also very good considering the organic rating.*Update - I have had the product for a months for just ofver 3 months and feel like I should update my review. Several of the buttons have broken in the wash. They are a shell button and fairly fragile. One fell off in the last wash. I feel I will need to replace all of the buttons before too long. The fabric does tighten up after the first couple of washes and this results in a very crisp feel to the fabric, which is great for mine since it is white. The fabric does come out of the dryer wrinkled and since I have no intention of ironing the entire duvet I have used it as is and found the the wrinkles loosen up pretty quickly on the bed and it looks great. The shams are another story. The trim around the edges bunches and the wrinkles never let out. To avoid the shams looking like a raisin on the edge I do prefer to iron them.I believe this would be true of any cotton shams. The really sad news is that the duvet has recently developed a hole. I am not sure of the cause, but I will update if I can confirm that there is fabric failure. Overall I do really like this duvet, but there are some little issues.I bought this specifically for the color (elderberry grey) which looked like it would go with my amethyst bedroom. I’m very happy with it, matches beautifully. It is cotton, so after washing you need to iron it to get the nice smooth look as in the picture. I have a softer Egyptian cotton set that looks kind of sloppy on the bed. I would rather have it drape better and be not as soft. So I am happy!I purchased this item based on reviews describing product as "luxurious" and good for protecting an organic wool duvet, which I have. My experience of this product is the opposite. First of all the picture is misleading. I originally ordered the Moroccan Blue, which in reality is a bright dark turquoise, looks nothing like the picture, and doesn't match my room. And I got the sheets by mistake, so I returned them without unfolding and taking a good look at the fabric. They did come beautifully packaged, so I tried again. This time I ordered white, thinking, how could I go wrong with white? The white duvet wasn't packaged fancy like the sheets. The fabric is so thin, like an ordinary sheet, that I can see the quilting on my duvet through the fabric. It's actually like they sewed two sheets together. I would call the fabric stiff and cheap (relative to the price point) rather than luxurious. And the pretty pearly buttons are sewed on the inside. Not sure if that was by accident or on purpose (like only when I wash the duvet I can have a momentary secret pleasure of enjoying the buttons?) The buttons are also difficult to button, as if the material shrunk after it was sewn. Meanwhile, the duvet also does not match the picture. There is no decoratie feature at the top of the cover, as shown in the picture as a line towards the right. They obviously photographed the sheets and posted the same picture for both products. Finally, it *barely* fits a California King. I can get the duvet in there, but it buckles a little so appears lumpy when lying on the bed. I will be returning, and probably shopping for my next duvet in person at an actual store where I can see it and touch it before person.Looked around for some organic and affordable bedding options and came across these on Amazon. Ordered the natural, cream ones and loved them from the moment they arrived. They come in a cloth, organic cotton bag that houses them and is made of same material/color as the cover and shams. They washed well, and fit great. I use the shams as normal pillow cases. They provide a very natural look, I don't iron them and while there are some natural wrinkles after taking out of dryer, I find it to be minor, not excessive and part of the natural look and feel. The fabric is very pleasantly soft, and just feels great to sleep on, and in something that doesn't have the usual stiff look and feel, or any chemical scents lingering around. They just have a great energy to them and I would buy again without question when needed. I only wish they also had a fitted sheet option without needing to buy a whole set.I am a huge fan of the magnolia organics 550 TC. I have a duvet though and I was looking for the same quality for my duvet cover so I went back to Magnolia organics for the same experience. I did not immediately realize that this is just a 300 TC and although the quality is good, the result cannot compare to the 500TC.It is not about softness as in fact this one is softer than my 550 TC. It is about the feeling of freshly ironed sheets, the density of the material.This one is folding like a chiffon, making many folds when I was expecting the fabric to be firmer, I like flat surfaces on my bed, wrinkles on the sheets are not comfortable and the king size allows the fabric to wrinkle during my sleep, making the sleep experience not as pleasant as it should be.So I cannot give more than 3 stars. I do not like them but I cannot fault their quality either. It is just that this duvet cover is not for me. It may be fine for you...
