Silk is considered as an expensive cost
fabric. So some of the venders sometimes promote “bargain price” to attract the
consumers.
However I think you should avoid
purchasing silk duvet
cover
.WHY?

In the world of silk bedding you
truly do get what you pay for. If you spend $150 dollars (or the equivalent) on
a bargain set of silk sheets for your king size bed, you will be getting a
bargain set of silk bed sheets that is
made from a lower quality silk and that likely also contains other non silk
fibers in the weave. The bargain sheets will not hold up well over time and
will be destined for the scrap heap in a short amount of time. It reminds me of
a saying my Mom had which went like this, "If it looks like a bargain,
feels like a bargain, and smells like a bargain, be very wary because it is
probably no bargain at all."
There are typically only a few occasions where high quality silk blankets Chinese
will be reduced in price to the point of a being a real bargain. If a color or
style is being discontinued manufacturers will discount the silk linen. There
may also be periodic sales or special pricing if silk sheets, a silk comforter,
and a silk duvet cover are all purchased at the same time.

Do not just fell in love with the
price and forget the quality, buying inferior silk pillowcase indicates
you will spend more a year later.
