Duvet Covers

Why are duvets so expensive? They're just glorified pillow cases. I think I'm going to buy some fabric, learn how to sew and make my own.

The problem is I have a red theme going in the bedroom and I have a particular duvet I want. Thus, the color and desired pattern is making this process rather difficult. BTW: I saw the exact duvet I wanted at BBB on Saturday, but they were asking $160. In my opinion this is too much $$. I told Donna Karen she could kiss my arse.

I was asking myself the same thing this morning. I was looking to get a new one and was looking online at BBB. All the ones I liked were $140 and up! Chat Icon

I guess I'll just have to wait for a sale.
