Beautiful color feels great good quality but wrinkles due to thread count
I was offered the Pinzon Damask 440 thread count Queen Duvet Set in the Saddle color from the Amazon Vine Program to review. Right when I removed it from the package I was thrilled! It looked BEAUTIFUL. A really nice neutral 'mocha' type of color. I love neutral colors that you can blend easily with other colors but some tones tend to be too pink or too yellow and this is neither it's a truly beautiful neutral but NOT 'blah' mocha color in my opinion. The color on my monitor on the Amazon product page is dead on accurate. The best thing of course is that the dye lot matches so the duvet and 2 pillow shams were all identical in color. (I know that this is a given but I have received some mismatched colors from other brands in the past.)
Before washing it it had this beautiful sheen to it - not metallic but this somewhat glossy sheen that I loved. After washing though most of the 'sheen' was gone but some still remained. The color of the duvet set however held true and did not bleed at all. All is great it washed & dried really well it fits on our Queen sized comforter & pillows perfectly but my only complaint is that it wrinkles somewhat around the finished edges of the pillow case. I lightly touched them up with a low heat iron to smooth them out and they've stayed like that ever since.
I DO prefer this 440 thread count as opposed to the similar version of the Pinzon brand in the 400 thread count. There is a BIT of a difference but not much. The 440TC is SLIGHTLY more crisp.
I think it's a good quality Duvet at a fair price now that Amazon has dropped the price on it (at the time of writing this it's listed at $59.99). However if you can catch this on sale at $15-$20 less then I'd say it's an INCREDIBLE DEAL for the quality and to nab one! I would however recommend this 440TC set over the similar 400TC set.More detail ...
