Octavia Marinblå Broderad Perkal Påslakan

I was worried the navy embroidery would look cheap in person but it's actually really subtle and pretty against the white. The percale has that crisp, cool feel I wanted for summer, and it's softened up nicely after two washes.

The Egyptian cotton percale is noticeably crisper and cooler than my old sateen set, which is exactly what I wanted for summer. The white is a true bright white too, not that yellowish cream some "white" bedding turns out to be.

The triple row of satin stitching adds just the right touch of elegance without being fussy, and the cotton is noticeably soft right out of the package. I've been sleeping better since switching to this set—the percale stays cool all night long.
