We've written about West Elm's Pin-Tuck Organic Duvet before, but thought it was worth revisiting now that it comes in colors...

There is just something about those pin-tuck pleats that looks so crisp and inviting on the bed, and the organic cotton is a lovely way to finish out Green Month here at AT. We love the look of both the clay and the seaspray; a visit to West Elm may be in order to check these out in person. Has anyone seen the new colors in the store already?

It is already SO DIFFICULT for me not to buy bedding to match my every mood, and now this! Sigh. So gorgeous.

Wow, the new colors work really well with the texture! These seem so luxurious!

I have been coveting this since it was first out (in the natural color), and both new color additions are lovely! Does anyone out there own one already? Is it comfie?

it is very comfy--but you have to be careful with the stitching on the pintucks. I have had mine for about 6 months, and have found that the thread on them snaps pretty easily. It's a little frustrating.

Hi Melissa-- I've had this duvet in natural since this winter and I love it. I actually make the bed now because I love how it looks. And, although I can see why sniplet has run into trouble with the tread on the pintucks, I haven't had that problem myself. I would suggest washing only on gentle cycle so the agitator of your washing machine doesn't catch on the pleats. I only wish they'd had the ice blue when I was purchasing!

Does anyone know if this duvet is hard to iron? It looks gorgeous but I have a feeling it would be very difficult to iron and have it looking as pretty as it does in the picture.

gorgeous. is the "sea spray" color a light blue or a gray? the pictures show varying hues.

Selena, it's actually a pale, greyish blue.

I agree with sniplet. I bought the west elm pin tuck sheets and pillow cases. Every time I would make the bed and adjust the seets, the thread in a tuck would snap and the tuck would fall out. I absolutely HATED these sheets and ended up throwing them out along w/ the pillow cases in a matter of months. The thread count is also VERY low for my tastes. I ended up going w/ Frete bed linens and have not regretted it for a single second.

Hi Jodie-- yes, they are very difficult to iron. I would suggest a steamer instead.

Has anyone ordered the duvet in clay? I ordered it in clay and it arrived in an olive green color. West Elm then replaced it and it came in green again. West Elm is saying that the clay is actually green but I'm getting mixed answers so I'm not sure that's right. Thanks for your help.

The clay is more brown than green but I've noticed that depending on your room/bed color and lighting the clay can appear more green. I have dark furniture and blue gray walls so it looks green.
