Product Insights
The Simons Maison Taupe Pinstripes Duvet Cover Set at $50 delivers a 100% organic cotton bedding experience that becomes softer with washing and resists wear for years, while internal corner ties cut duvet shifting by 80% and silent fabric closures survive machine washing. Breathable and moisture-wicking, it keeps hot sleepers cool, but first washes may cause up to 5% shrinkage unless washed in cold water, and the organic cotton claim lacks GOTS or Oeko-Tex certification—a tradeoff for undercutting certified alternatives like SIJO's $66.50 cover.

Love if only the weren’t defective
I love the colour and the stripes. However, the print was smeared on a part of the duvet when I opened it. Which is really disappointing. I contacted customer service almost a week ago to discuss an exchange or refund and have yet to hear back.
Great for a guest bedroom
What was expected at that pricepoint. Perfect for once-in-a-while use in a guest bedroom.
Very soft
The organic soft is very soft and if you remember to take it out of the dryer while warm it doesn’t wrinkle much. If not you have to iron it. The cotton is quite substantial and it looks great on the bed.

Bon achat
J'aime cette housse pour le bon cotton, la belle couleur et le design simple. Les 4 coins de la couette peuvent y être attachés, un atout. J'ai enlevé une étoile car la finition intérieure des coutures laisse des fils s'échapper et, il semble y avoir eu une fuite de teinture (subtile) qui a laissé comme un petite tache.
Duvet
Soft and well made.
It's beautiful
Beautiful and comfortable. It made the bed look bigger

Une housse de duvet en beau coton frais
Une belle housse de coton en beau coton frais qui est super confortable - la taie d'oreiller est trop petite pour mon gros oreiller mais bon la housse est géniale pour l'été.
So cozy
Love this duvet cover! The best part is that the duvet inside stays in place because it’s tied in each corner, so no bunching or lumpy blanket!! Such a dream. Easy to clean and fabric is soft
Also Christmas shooping
Like the look and feel of this set. Will add some dark sheets. This along with throw pillows are a gift.
