We all want to be consumers of local products; but when one of them is one of America’s top manufacturers of luxury bedding, well that makes it easy. Matouk, headquartered in Fall River, MA, designs and mills the finest European quality linens and with products that span the range, there is truly something for everyone.
I have been buying the line for years; everyone in my family has a set. I must say, I adore the look, feel, and design options that allow me to personalize each bed and room. I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Colleen Brewer over in Product Development at Matouk. I am pleased to share our talk with you!
1. What product would you say offers the best value from Matouk
Our classic Meridian 350 thread count bedding with stitched taped detail in a rainbow of colors.
2. What product offers the most luxury and why?
I would have to say our Bespoke line which lets you have bed linens exactly the way you want them. We start with 600 thread count sheeting and the options are endless for choosing colors, embroideries and monograms. For me, the height of luxury is to finish off a duvet and shams with a hand-stitched appliqué or Swiss embroidery–it’s old-school and modern and chic all at the same time.
3. With tape and embroidery becoming more accessible to the masses, how does the Matouk brand differentiate?
We’ve been perfecting our craft for over 80 years using the best fabrics imported from Europe and it shows in the finished product. Every day inside our factory in Fall River I see the attention to the tiniest details, from the stitching to the final packaging.
4. What’s new and notable?
We’ve just added an extensive collection of quilts. There are lustrous sateens, solids with scalloped edges, Lulu DK prints and even seersuckers– a terrific layering element. We are also doing a summery and casual new line of printed table linens by Lulu DK that is really taking off.
5. What are some online sources?
Gracious Home and our site also lists the many retailers nationwide who carry our products and swatch books so you can sit down, play with style combinations and create your dream bed.
