Pinzon 400-Thread-Count Egyptian Cotton Sateen Hotel Beskirt Review

I don't use bed skirt often, but this one is great. When I pull it out of the dryer after first wash, it feels so soft and it looks so beautiful!

Pinzon 400-Thread-Count Egyptian Cotton Sateen Hotel Sheet Set Review

I travel a lot for work and stay in some wonderful hotels around the world... and am always amazed at the quality of their sheets.I ordered these hoping they might approximate what I've seen in those hotels.Nope.First off, the embroidery is not on the fitted sheet, only on the flat sheet and pillowcases, and it shrunk at a different rate than the sheets, so it's a bit puckered after first wash.I could live with that if the material was truly soft and luxurious... but I found it to be rather rough, a fairly ordinary sheet.The sheets I've bought at TJ MAXX and Marshalls advertised at the same threadcount around the same price are much more luxurious.If these soften with more washes, I will update this review.

Otherwise, you might want to keep looking!Hope this helps.

Alison White Eyelet Ruffled Pillow Sham Review

I ordered the white eyelet bedskirt and "matching" pillow shams.The bedskirt was exactly as I expected.The pillow shams were not.The package had a picture of the same bedskirt that I ordered, with a box checked 'SHAM."It contained shams that were a totally different eyelet pattern than the bedskirt. I could have lived with that, but they were dirty and had what looked like a heavy black pencil line around half of the hem.I tried laundering them, but the line did not come out.The shams are thin and flimsy as well; the ruffle hangs like a wet rag.I looked at the enclosed pictures again, expecting to see that these came from some Third World sweat-shop.There was a circle with Old Glory in it and some writing that said, "Crafted With Pride Made in The U.S.A." then the name Sanrich, Inc., Port Washington, N.Y. 10468.Oh, really?No wonder our economy is in the crapper if this is what the consumer is getting from America.Shame on you!

Wrap Around Dust Ruffle Review

I ordered this dust ruffle in part of the good reviews it received, but was very disappointed when it finally arrived. Aside from the flimsiness of the fabric, my major gripe is the darned thing won't stay put on the bed -- some part or another is always sliding up or down. Forget trying to make the bed. No amount of tucking seems to keep it in place.

It's on a standard queen bed with a rather thick mattress, but the depth of the mattress shouldn't matter. All in all, it looks better than a bare bed frame, but it's way too much work to keep it looking nice. Who needs a bed skirt that has a habit of wandering? Not me -- I like my linens to stay where I put them.

Pinzon Fleur Jacquard Woven 18" Square Pillow Cover Review

After ordering these pillow covers online, I went to Michaels to get inserts.Naturally, I purchased 18 inch inserts.When the pillow covers came in, I discovered that the 18 inch were WAY too small and had to go back for the 20, which are of course, much more expensive (unless you get them at Ikea, which I ended up doing).HOWEVER, they are beautiful, and I love them!

Fabric Definitions
Egyptian Cotton: Egyptian cotton is used to make some of the highest quality linens in the world, including sumptuously soft bath and bed linens. Egyptian cotton is grown to produce a longer staple, or fiber, than generic cotton, and the longer and finer a cotton staple is, the better able it is to be spun into finer count yarns, which in turn can be knitted or woven into soft, fine, and luxurious fabrics. The staple length in Egyptian cotton averages 1-1/8 to 1-1/2 inches, but can reach over 2-1/4 inches, which is twice the size of a generic cotton fiber. Products which highlight construction of Egyptian cotton are usually referring to the extra-long-staple cotton produced largely in the Nile River Valley. The humidity and rich soil around the Nile delta produce especially long cotton fibers, which are fine and vary from a light cream to dark tan color. Egyptian cotton is strong, durable and, if cared for properly, will be long lasting.
Sateen: Sateen fabric has a supremely soft, satin-like finish resulting from a four-over-one thread weave. Standard weaves, like percale, use a one-over, one-under stitch. The four-over weave puts more threads nearer the surface, resulting in a softer, warmer surface. Sateen fabrics are most often made of mercerized cotton, but can be made of other fabrics, including cotton blends, polyester, and rayon. Mercerized threads give sateen fabrics a higher luster. Mercerization, named for process-creator John Mercer, involves treating threads with a cold concentrated sodium hydroxide solution. Mercerization also increases strength, dyeability, and resistance to mildew, as well as reduces lint. Sateens can be produced in light and heavy weights, and are ideal for bedding.
History of the Textile Mill
Piubelle, founded in 1981, is one of the most versatile Portuguese home textiles companies, with thousands of existing designs in its collection, including yarn dyes, prints, embroideries, and jacquards. A very efficient design team keeps abreast of trends and stays on the lookout for something new. Innovation is continuous. New threads, fabrics, and colors are frequently tested and analyzed. New products are constantly introduced.

Piubelle always uses the best raw materials in its production stages. Almost all its products are produced with Egyptian cotton and, where requested, there is a label certifying the origin of the cotton.
History of the Region
Portugal's major textile factories are located in Guimaraes. Guimaraes is known as the "cradle" or "birth city" of Portugal, since it is home to the castle of Portugal's first king. As one of the country's most historic cities with well-preserved monuments, it is a popular tourist attraction. Among other sites to see are two squares with outdoor cafes and balconied houses, called Praça de Santiago and Largo da Oliveira. At Largo da Oliveira is the old Town Hall and the Church of Nossa Senhora da Oliveira, with a Gothic shrine erected in 1340 standing before it. There are many legends about its origins, but a popular story says it marks the spot where Wamba, elected king of the Visigoths, refused his title and drove a pole into the ground swearing that he would not reign until it blossomed, and it sprouted immediately. Guimaraes hosts an annual 3-day festival of medieval art and costume in the first week of August, which dates from the middle of the 15th century and includes a torchlight procession and a medieval parade. Not only renowned for textiles and historical sites, Guimaraes is in the heart of the "Vinho Verde" region, so called for its locally produced fresh, young "green wines."
