The Marimekko Annansilmä White/Red/Grey Bedding will liven up any bedroom with its eye-catching begonia blooms. Large scale bouquets in shades of red, grey, yellow, orange and black decorate a crisp white backdrop. Designed by Aino-Maija Metsola, the bold botanical print brings to mind the colors of autumn, both bright and gloomy. Coupled with the clean lines of the Ajo Black Stripe Sheet Set, you'll have a statement-making bed, worthy of showing off. The duvet slips over your current comforter and buttons closed while the included shams have an envelope opening to insert your pillows. Made from 100% cotton percale, this soft set won't irritate your skin and is conveniently machine washable, making it as livable as it is lively.
Full/Queen set includes: 1 duvet cover & 2 standard shams King set includes: 1 duvet cover & 2 king shams About Percale:
A high-quality weave, percale has a noticeably tighter weave that allows for a higher thread count which makes the fabric softer to the touch. Medium in weight, the fabric is matte with no additional sheen or shine but the texture is very smooth and able to resist warping and washes exceptionally well.
Full/Queen duvet measures: 96" L x 92" W (244 x 229 cm)
King duvet measures: 106" L x 96" W (274 x 244 cm)

This set looks even better in person than in the photo. The red is a tomato red and the gray is a taupey gray, both of which I love. The percale is nice and smooth and washes nicely, although It does get a little wrinkled, but that is something that I can live with. My only complaint, which is why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5, is that it does not fit a standard full/queen duvet (86x86). It measures 92x96 and I ended up having to buy a new duvet.
Pros
Love the colors
Love the fabric
Cons
It is large and I had to buy a new duvet to fit it.

Eye-catching motif

I have always admired the design sensibilities in Marimekko prints and finally decided to purchase this to try out its prints on a larger scale other than a table cloth. And i must say that the combination of the striped sheet set with the botanical motif makes the bedroom a very inviting place to be in. Definitely a change from the solid colored sheets I have been using.
Pros
Brightens up any room.
Motif on both sides of duvet
Cons
These may not bother you but unfortunately they are bugbears for me : There could be more string ties inside the duvet cover to hold the duvet in place.
Pillow cases could do with a big button to hold the opening in the middle together.
