Beware of the fakes! When you see bed sheets being sold for $39.99 at a mall kiosk and they claim to be 1500 TC Egyptian cotton sheet sets, they are not! While it may be entirely true that cotton in these sheets was grown in Egypt, it does not mean it is THE Extra Long Staple (ELS) Egyptian Cotton!! Only 4% of the cotton produced is the world renowned Egyptian cotton. And authentic 1500TC 100% Egyptian cotton sheet sets do not cost $39.99. Its similar to someone advertising to sell gold at $499/ounce in today’s day and age! It is simply not possible!
