VERSAILLES duvet cover

The VERSAILLES duvet cover is Celso de Lemos bed linen in a cotton and silk cloth. A large round ornament is woven into the centre of the duvet cover. Patterned bands and a chain pattern surround it. Miel has a gold pattern on a white ground. Perle has a light grey pattern on a white ground. The back of the duvet cover is SECRET sateen in the same shade. The duvet cover has a zip and a tie in every corner. There are five sizes.

The cloth is woven from extra-long-staple Egyptian Giza cotton and silk. This cotton grows along the Nile and is picked by hand. Two per cent of Egypt's cotton is extra-long-staple. The longer the fibre, the finer the yarn that can be spun from it. A fine yarn gives a smooth, durable cloth. The yarn is dyed before weaving. The maker says the cloth is silky soft and lustrous. A square metre of the VERSAILLES cloth weighs 130 g.

VERSAILLES is made in Portugal.
