Echo DesignT Calypso Duvet - Multi - Twin

It appears, now, that they've lightened the original (unzoomable) picture but still there are no bright colors in this 'Calyspo' at all, which is what I purchased it for. Item didn't arrive from vendor until 8 days after order, then I had to wait another 3 days because of 'signature required', which is okay, but I would have preferred to know that maybe within 4-5 days. Thankfully it wasn't a gift or for arriving guests. I bought a full cover and two shams and had to pay shipping for each item individually. It isn't Ikat but along those lines--distressed and faded looking. Their orange is a pale tangerine; their purple a lavender; and that lime green of theirs I can hardly find--it's an even paler celery, and so on. It's blobs of nearly undifferentiated pastels, making the stripes and paisley pointless for lack of distinct edges. There is no way one get 'fresh-looking' out of this. The finer cotton is on top; I would have preferred that against my body as I don't use top sheets. The cotton does feel very nice, on both sides, which is why I've still been looking at it for about a week. It has an unpleasant odor of I don't know what--no straight out of the bag with this one. No inner ties which maybe would have made me lean toward keeping it. All said I reckon at 40 bucks for the full/queen (which is huge) it's okay for a kid or student's bed. And I do have to give the vendor credit for cheerfully refunding me the difference in price on the shams when they lowered it post-purchase. Echo Design blew it with this print--that I can't hold against the vendor. I'm very, very, likely to send this back; I wanted it to make me feel happy when I looked at it. :(

The fabric is fine and the workmanship is okay too. The only problem I have with this is that the colors are not as vivid as pictured. It seems that the factory skimped on the amount of dye they used in the production of the pattern. But, I can live with it.

Decent feel to the cotton. Backside is a blue stripe. I was going for a bohemian look and this will do.

I am beginning to love Echo Design Products and was glad to get what seemed to be the last two in this pattern on Amazon. The cotton Sateen makes changing them for washing so easy - and the colors are just wonderful and vibrant.More importantly, I noticed that Echo duvet covers run slightly larger - which for me is perfect! The twin is 72 inches rather than the 68 inches normally offered. Doesn't seem like 4 inches would matter much, but I was able to easily stuff King sized comforters (folded in half) inside these quite easily, and even a full sized comforter as I couldn't afford to change all the comforters in our household at once! Even with the good prices here! I even put my duvet covers from Germany that my mom brought back on the shelf because their twin size is too small to really wrap yourself up without a part sticking out to get cold. And I'm not a big person- I'm 5'4" and 128 lbs - but with the Echo and an old feather comforter (don't even know what size it was, not twin though) I have something I can wrap myself in comfortably and stay toasty warm all night.I'll be sticking to Echo products as I slowly re-do the bedding ensembles in each of our rooms. They wash great, fit great, feel great, and look great. And I love that this set at least, has designs on BOTH sides.

Different size then what they say it comes in 90 in instead of 92 like was written. They colors are not as bright as in the picture either, but good product.

Nice quality and very reasonable price.

The colors and the pattern are what attracted me to this Duvet.It was different from most the of the ones I'd seen. The one I had been using for many years was dark, and I wanted something brighter. It fits well--is a little big for my twin mattress, but I don't mind that since it doesn't get all bunched up like my previous one did.

its okay i wish it had something to grab the blanket that goes inside.
