What fabric is the Tat Cotton Duvet Set made from?

The Tat Cotton Duvet Set is 100% linen with a tattered ruffle border, garment-washed and dyed using non-toxic dyes. The Tat fabric combines MATTEO's best-selling Vintage Linen construction with a distinctive frayed-edge border for a lived-in, textural finish.

What is included in each Tat Cotton Duvet Set size?

A King or Queen set includes one duvet cover and two matching shams; a Twin set includes one duvet cover and one Queen sham. All items in the set are garment-dyed together in the same color, so they arrive as a coordinated unit.

How do I wash and care for the Tat Cotton Duvet Set?

Wash the set on a gentle or delicate cycle in cold water inside a mesh laundry bag, using a mild, non-enzymatic detergent. Air dry flat or hang dry; avoid tumble drying, which can deteriorate the frayed-edge border. Trim any loose threads with sharp scissors rather than pulling them.

Can I mix and match colors across the duvet cover and shams?

Because all pieces in a Duvet Set are garment-dyed together in one dye lot, every item arrives in the same color. To mix colors, order the duvet cover and shams separately in the individual colors you want.

FRAY-EDGE MATERIAL

Gentle Washing Only
Always wash frayed or raw-edge fabric on a gentle or delicate cycle using cold water. Avoid harsh agitation, which can accelerate fraying beyond the intended design.

Use a Mesh Laundry Bag
Place the sham inside a mesh laundry bag before washing to reduce friction and prevent threads from catching on other items or machine parts.

Mild Detergents
Use mild, non-enzymatic detergents. Avoid bleach or strong chemicals, which can weaken the fabric and increase fraying.

Air Dry
Lay flat to dry or hang dry. Do not tumble dry, as the tumbling action can rapidly deteriorate the raw edges. If necessary, fluff briefly on low or no heat to soften the fabric after air drying.

Trim with Care
Over time, some additional fraying may naturally occur. Gently trim loose threads with sharp scissors—never pull them, as that can worsen the damage.

Avoid Ironing Over Edges
If ironing is needed, avoid pressing directly on the frayed edges, as the heat can cause further unraveling or distortion. Use a pressing cloth and low heat setting if ironing the body of the sham.

Wash

Wash should be separated into light & dark colors. Do not overload machine as this will damage long cotton fibers. We recommend a lukewarm wash cycle with a gentle detergent & a cool rinse.

Bleach may be used on white cotton bed linens only. Avoid using products that contain whitening agents such as chlorine bleach, alpha hydroxy acids and benzoyl peroxide on garment-dyed items. The reactive dyes used for garment-dyeing are not resistant to these whitening agents.

The largest challenge with garment-dyeing is the truth that it is an art, and not a science. We must allow for a shade variation of +/- 10% from dye-lot to dye-lot.

Drying

Tumble dry with low heat.Remove bed linens promptly from the machine to reduce wrinkling. For best results, line dry.

Ironing

We at MATTEO tend to prefer a lived-in look, as such, you don't find us ironing our sheets too frequently. If you prefer a crisp looking bed, our cotton bed linens should be pressed while slightly damp using the Lightweight Cotton or Medium setting.
