Using your Margot shabby chic duvet cover set is a breeze. First, slip your padded insert (not included) into the duvet cover through the button closure and secure the ties in the corners to keep it from moving around. Then, simply put the duvet on your bed and add the matching shams for a complete look. When it comes to maintenance, the set is machine washable. Just follow the care instructions on the label to keep it looking its best. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach as this may damage the delicate embroidery. After washing, tumble dry on low heat and give it a good shake to fluff it up. Enjoy the cozy and elegant atmosphere this set brings to your bedroom!
