Pinzon's Fleur Jacquard Euro sham is a silky soft and elegant accessory to the collection, and it's reversible for a change of look. Expertly sewn in Portugal from 100-percent Egyptian cotton single-ply yarns in a sateen weave, the sham boasts a sophisticated floral jacquard pattern on the face, and a wide-stripe pattern on the reverse. The sham accessorizes marvelously with other striped and floral pieces from the Fleur Jacquard collection. Offered in two colors, the Euro sham measures 26 by 26 inches, plus a 3-inch border all around. Matching standard, king, and boudoir shams are available separately. Super easy to care for, the sham is safe to clean at home in the washer and dryer and has a side slit opening for easy insertion or removal.
The Fabric
Egyptian Cotton: Egyptian cotton is used to make some of the highest quality linens in the world, including sumptuously soft bath and bed linens. Egyptian cotton is grown to produce a longer staple, or fiber, than generic cotton, and the longer and finer a cotton staple is, the better able it is to be spun into finer count yarns, which in turn can be knitted or woven into soft, fine, and luxurious fabrics. The staple length in Egyptian cotton averages 1-1/8 to 1-1/2 inches, but can reach over 2-1/4 inches, which is twice the size of a generic cotton fiber. Products which highlight construction of Egyptian cotton are usually referring to the extra-long-staple cotton produced largely in the Nile River Valley. The humidity and rich soil around the Nile delta produce especially long cotton fibers, which are fine and vary from a light cream to dark tan color. Egyptian cotton is strong, durable and, if cared for properly, will be long lasting.
Sateen: Sateen fabric has a supremely soft, satin-like finish resulting from a four-over-one thread weave. Standard weaves, like percale, use a one-over, one-under stitch. The four-over weave puts more threads nearer the surface, resulting in a softer, warmer surface. Sateen fabrics are most often made of mercerized cotton, but can be made of other fabrics, including cotton blends, polyester, and rayon. Mercerized threads give sateen fabrics a higher luster. Mercerization, named for process-creator John Mercer, involves treating threads with a cold concentrated sodium hydroxide solution. Mercerization also increases strength, dyeability, and resistance to mildew, as well as reduces lint. Sateens can be produced in light and heavy weights, and are ideal for bedding.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Nice Material, But Very Droopy
**
The material of this sham is very nice, but something in the way the sham is constructed does not work at all. The sham droops around the pillow so that it looks like an ill-fitting pillow case. Unfortunately, I bought this for the centerpiece of our bed, a large Euro pillow. It now looks like a large lump, or like a laundry bag kind of tossed on the bed, so disappointing. The edges of the sham do not stand up or out, but collapse instead. As another reviewer has mentioned, it does fit very loosely.
I will have to find some other use for it; the only thing I can think of is as a regular pillow case. Even then, it will fall off.
Not recommended, unless you have an unusual use for an unconventional sham.

Beautiful but too large
The pattern on these shams are beautiful, but they fit a Euro pillow (26 inches by 26 inches) very loosely and did not look right once over the pillow. I returned these for this reason.
Nice pillow cases; match the set well
I did not find these too large for standard sized pillows like some of the other reviewers said - they fill out my regular pillows nicely. They're comfortable enough to use as sleeping pillowcases and not just show pillowcases. There is an envelope enclosure at the end to fold so you cannot see the pillow inside.
