In a word "Yes"

Just like linen, cotton, bamboo and other natural fibers, there is going to be some wrinkling. Only synthetic fibers made from petrochemical processes are less likely to wrinkle.

To reduce wrinkling there are a couple of options.

1. Fold your sheets immediately after line drying or machine drying. Folded sheets will show less wrinkles, where as sheets bunched up in a washing basket will get very wrinkly.

2. Set your dryer to 'iron' setting, if it has one. This will leave a little bit of moisture in the sheets and then iron straight away. The moisture left in the sheets will make the ironing a breeze.

100% natural fibers are great for you and the environment, but they do require a little more care than synthetics.

No!

Only products returned in an unused condition in original packaging are reused. If there is any evidence that a returned product has been un packaged or used, they are donated to local charities and animal shelters.

This is totally up to you. Our sheets are made in very sanitary conditions, but some people like to wash before use. However, this in not necessary, the sheets are beautiful straight out of the packet.

Most high-quality TENCEL™ sheets fall within a thread count range of 250 to 600. This range ensures a balance between softness, breathability, and durability.

Olive + Crate sheets are crafted with a 300 thread count using 100% TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers, intentionally chosen for softness, breathability, and comfort. While some brands rely on inflated thread counts as a marketing trick, we focus on what truly matters: quality materials and thoughtful construction.

It's important to note that some manufacturers may advertise excessively high thread counts as a marketing tactic. However, these inflated numbers don't necessarily equate to better quality and can sometimes compromise breathability. 

Discover how the myth of thread count has misled shoppers for years in this eye-opening article on Huffpost. 

Olive + Crate bedding products are designed in Melbourne, Australia, made with sustainable Tencel fiber produced in Europe and assembled in China.

We do not sell pillowcases with duvet covers, because we have found some customers prefer to choose various colors and sizes. Pillowcases can be added to  Duvet Cover order at a20% discount, when done as part of the same transaction. This represents excellent value.

At certain times of the year we will clear excess stock from ourClearance Page. Items that appear on this page are deeply discounted and sold at close to cost price. Clearance goods are not eligible for returns or exchange. The purchase is final. and non-returnable.

We have had a few rare occurrences where a customers bank has charged them an international transaction fee. This is because Olive + Crates registered business address is in Australia. However, banks should not charge this international fee, because the Olive + Crate website is hosted in the US, charges in US dollars and only sells in the US. If this happens, please call your bank and ask for the fee to be reversed, because it is not an international transaction.

Unfortunately not, you can only use one coupon per order. For example, a Welcome Discount Code cannot be combined with a promotion code for a larger discount.

Unfortunately not, because bundles are already discounted, a discount coupon cannot be used in addition. You can however retain your discount coupon for a future purchase..

Form time to time we may run out of inventory and you will see a 'Pre-order' button, instead of 'Add to Cart' button.

When you pre-order a product, you will receive an automatic 5% saving on the normal full price of the product. This is our way of compensating you for the delay.

At the time of purchase, we provide an estimate shipping duration eg. 'will ship in 10 days'.

This is an estimate only and actual shipping time may be longer based on shipping and warehouse issues.
