ESSENZA Duvet Cover, 100% Cotton washed vintage effect, Blue, 260x240

Bought the pillow case at the same time as the duvet cover, but got it earlier. Therefore threw away the packaging, when i got the duvet cover, because the pillow case was nice. When i got the duvet cover earlier today, i saw a washing instruction. According to this i washed the duvet cover inside out. I didn't do that with the pillow case. Somehow the pillow case is nice and smooth, but the duvet cover pilled. I am sad, because it lost all softness....
