I do not know if I have a different idea of satin, but in the picture the bed linen is uniquely shiny. How do I know it from Satin. Actually, however, it appears to be only of cotton. According flyer allegedly a "green product" - and on the linen looks also not so bad. Only the colors are not nearly as strong as in the picture. Rather, as if they had already washed 500x. And she does not look different than my old linen covers what was actually not sense this order. I am a little disappointed, however, give you 3 points because of the lightning-speed delivery time. I think there were little more than 24 hours.
