New Bedding: The quickest way to update the look of your bedroom is to simply change the color scheme of your bedding. Coyuchi’s Cirrus Cloud bedding is inspired by the wisps of golden clouds in the late afternoon sun. As in nature, the appeal is in the details: sheets with tailored pintucks, shams with geometric stitching, a chunky textured blanket and a cotton duvet striped in ochre and gray. The cotton is 100% organic, and sourced and woven in India. The linen is made in India from flax grown in France and Belgium.
