WARNING! 2 different sheet sets are being sold
In August the only two colors of these sheet sets were Ivory and White. I ordered Ivory and they were amazing. At that time there were only 9 or 10 reviews and everyone said how soft and amazing these sheets were. A few months later, a bunch of other colors popped up and I was very excited to get another color since the Ivory set were the best sheets I ever had. They were soft, had that sateen silkiness to them, and had very deep pockets on the fitted sheet. I ordered Royal Blue a few days ago and when they got here I noticed several things about these sheets. Firstly, the Orbeli and Proache label looks fake. It is pixilated and something is off about it, like the red is bleeding into the white in the name. Also, it doesn't even say Queen set on it. And what company do you know that doesn't label the sizes of their sheet sets? It sounds more like someone who downloaded an image of their logo and then removed the sizes so they could just print up a bunch of labels and use them for different sizes. Then as I took them out of the package I started noticing more and more things. The material was not soft like the Ivory. It was thicker and rougher. The fitted sheet has more elastic in it. It is a very shallow fitted sheet and does not fit my bed, while the Ivory ones are almost too big for my bed. If you click on the Ivory color, you'll notice in the description the sheets go from "extra deep fitted" to "10 inch fitted" when you look at the other colors. Then another thing was the care instruction label is completely different. And the stitching on the pillows and at the top of the flat sheet are completely different on both sets. If you enlarge the pictures of the sheet sets on the main page you can actually see it! The Ivory set has an overlap on it's stitching. The Royal blue and some other colors has a cheaper looking stitch. These are simply not the same sheets at all!! I don't know if the seller is knowingly selling rip offs or they are buying from someone who is giving them rip offs but there is no way these Royal blue sheets are 500 thread count Egyptian Cotton Sateen. They feel like cheap sheets I could buy anywhere. And this is not just my experience. My sister bought a set of the brick red. Not only did they dye her washing machine red, they are the same cheap material and cheap stitching as my royal blues. And clearly other people have experienced this too since some people are saying these sheets are heavenly and others are saying they are scratching and badly made. I have informed Amazon and I hope they get this taken care of because the Ivory ones I bought were without a doubt the best sheets I've ever owned and these other ones are some of the worst I've owned.
