What about this product is "Egyptian" and/or "Italian"? Many reviews say that these are 100% polyester, made in China.

They don't appear to be cotton. I can't see how Egyptian or Italian are relevant to the product description.

Egyptian cotton is extremely heavy. High quality that you notice immediately. These sheets are definitely polyester made in China. I'm not that familiar with Italian thread count. Either way. These are not 1500 thread count sheets.

The package said 100% Egyptian cotton. Personally, I was not satisfied with the product.

The short answer is yes they are Egyptian Cotton. They are bright white, but have a bit of a texture to them almost like linen, and they are a very decent weight. For a larger napkin which is heavier and has no texture check out the satin band napkins by typing B00CEN2NBU into the search box. I get asked all the time what is Egyptian Cotton, so here is the technical answer: Egyptian cotton is "extra long staple" mostly made from a cotton plant called Gossypium barbadense. These plants are, in fact, grown all over the world including in the US, China and India. Egyptian Cotton does not necessarily mean that the cotton was grown in Egypt. If the cotton is actually from Egypt it is called Giza cotton. The fiber length is around 1 3/8 inches which is extra long and does make for a softer more luxurious product.

The description says "100% egyptiOn" That says it all! It's like when you buy those "Ray-Bon" sunglasses in china-town. That doesn't mean the product is not good for the price, but if you're looking for real Egyptian cotton, look somewhere else and don't expect to pay $25 for it.

Yes they are made in China according to the tag. I wouldn't buy anything made in China, especially something meant to go in the mouth - of babies or anyone!!! You can't trust them, no matter what they advertise.

They are made in Italy but there are offices in NY. Here's their website for tons of information: www.bormioliroccousa.com.

Your best bet is to check the internet for the definition of Egyptian Quality. I know my sister is very pleased with these sheets, she said they were very soft and washed well.

I just checked mine and the tag reads 100% polyester. I don't know why they advertise as a cotton/poly blend. I like them just fine. I'm just using them for home.

I wrote to Tovolo and here's their answer: They are manufactured in and with materials from China.

Hi,I have the hat in my hand right now and the label reads 100% polyester made in (of course) China. However it does not feel/look like polyester. I like the hat very much.

The label (in Chinese) says 100% polyester. The outside feels like fleece and the inside is stain resistant. Our dog threw up in it and it came clean with a simple wash.

The sheets are not Egyptian cotton. The name of the sheets are Italian 1500. The sheets are a synthetic blend not 100 percent cotton. I have a set of Egyptian cotton sheets they cost me a lot of money. They also last for years. I would not purchase this item again. If you read my description I stated how the bottom sheet came unsewn around the elastic. I believe the description by the manufacturer is very misleading. Look at that again, it says "Italian 1500 thread count Egyptian cotton." I would ask manufacturer to make up their mind, is it Italian or is it Egyptian??? See what I mean. Other reviews state it is a 1500 thread count, my answer is no way no how are the sheets this high a thread count. Hope this helps...also one review reads that 1500 thread count means there softer. If the sheets were this high of a thread count they would not be so thin that you can see through. Thread counts is the amount of threads used when making the material. I don't know anyone who sales 1500 thread count sheets for the price these are. They are soft but not worth the money if the elastic is treated with a chemical to make it seem tight before washing then after washing the elastic is weak and sheet comes unsewn around that elastic.

Hi Oscar. They are bone China. I love them and think they are beautiful. If they are actually made in England, I don't know. I am very thankful to have bought such good quality for a reasonable price.

China, where everything comes from. :-) No, seriously, some are made in Italy, some in India, mine and one I purchased for a buddy was made in India.

Looking on the package it says 100% cotton/ silk construction with polyester trim. The tag says polyester fibers.

Exactly. Amazon needs to fix that. I bought them and I can guarantee you that they are in fact 100% Polyester.

Yep, but they are made in China. I have had them on a while and they seem okay though.
