When two titans of American textile artistry unite, the result is a piece of design history.

The Tillett Collection brings the quiet luxury and uncompromising craftsmanship that defines Matouk into your home.

These are patterns with a genuine place in American style history, now available for your home.

  • Premium Materials, Rigorously Certified: Matouk Tillett bedding is crafted on Luca 500 thread count 100% Egyptian cotton percale, woven and printed in Italy, and finished in the USA. All pieces are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified as safe from harmful chemicals.

Matouk Tillett: Luxury Home Textiles Showcasing Jacqueline Kennedy's Favorite Botanicals

A Meeting of Two Textile Legends

The Collaboration

Fine Linen and Bath is proud to introduce the Matouk Tillett Collection, a collaboration that we believe stands among the most meaningful in the world of luxury home linens. Building on the celebrated Matouk Schumacher partnership launched in 2021, this newest chapter pairs Matouk's century-long heritage of quality craftsmanship with the extraordinary design archive of Tillett Textiles.

The Story Behind Tillett Textiles

Tillett was founded in the 1940s by Leslie and d.d. Tillett. Leslie, originally British, and d.d.—Doris Doctorow, a former photojournalist for Harper's Bazaar—met in Mexico and built a design house steeped in hand-printed fabrics, bold color, and modernist influences. Their work attracted some of the most discerning tastemakers of the 20th century: Sister Parish, Albert Hadley, Bunny Mellon, and Brooke Astor all had Tillett fabrics in their homes. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was among the most notable admirers; Tillett's botanical designs appeared in the private quarters of the Kennedy White House and at the family's Hyannis Port retreat.

A Century of Matouk Craftsmanship

Matouk, now entering its second century of operation out of Fall River, Massachusetts, brings these archival designs to life on the world's finest grounds—Italian-woven Egyptian cotton percale and European linen—with finishing completed in the USA. The result is an heirloom-quality collection rooted in authentic design history.

"Building on the success of the Matouk Schumacher collection from 2021, which has become a favorite among our clients, the Matouk Tillett Collection represents another exciting chapter in textile artistry," said Helena Hendricks, Senior Associate Brand Manager at Fine Linen and Bath. "These designs carry such remarkable provenance. Knowing that these same patterns graced Jackie Kennedy's Hyannis Port home adds a layer of meaning that our clients truly appreciate."

Matouk Tillett Bedding Collection

Matouk Tillett Geranium: Bold Botanicals for the Bedroom

The Geranium design is the most expressive in the Matouk Tillett Collection. Adapted from an original hand-drawn artwork in the Tillett archive, its large-scale blooms and painterly brushwork create a striking, dimensional effect on Matouk's Luca percale, a ground celebrated for its crisp hand and enduring quality. This joyful, vibrant botanical brings an unmistakable energy to the bedroom that is both timeless and deeply personal.

Geranium Color Palette

The Geranium design is offered in two sophisticated hues designed to work across a range of interior styles:

Blue — A fresh, refined take on the classic botanical that reads equally well in coastal, traditional, and contemporary bedrooms.

Scarlet — A warm, bold expression that makes a confident, joyful statement.

Fabric & Finishing

Geranium's lovely hand-printed florals are printed on Matouk's crisp Luca percale. Finely woven for a smooth touch and cool feel, Luca Egyptian cotton percale delivers the kind of experience you expect from a five-star hotel room: breathable, crisp, and beautifully refined wash after wash.

What's Included

The Geranium bedding collection is comprehensive in scope. You'll find Standard and King pillowcases, flat and fitted sheets in Full/Queen, King, and California King, duvet covers in Full/Queen and King, shams in every size from Boudoir through Euro (including quilted options), and quilts in Full/Queen and King.

All Geranium bedding is made in the USA with100% Egyptian cotton percale woven in Italy. Duvet covers feature a White Luca Percale reverse with inside corner ties and a hidden zipper closure. Quilts are filled with 100% polyester batting at 100 gm per square meter with a 2-inch diamond quilting pattern, and finished with Calypso on the reverse in a coordinating color.

Pair It With Existing Matouk Designs

Geranium's bold botanical pairs beautifully with Matouk's classic solid bedding collections. Layer Geranium shams over a solid Luca percale duvet cover, or pair with Matouk's signature embroidered or tailored border sheets for an elevated, collected look. Our Fine Linen and Bath design team is always available to help you coordinate across the full Matouk range.

Geranium Bath Accessories

Geranium extends beautifully beyond the bedroom. The shower curtain (72" x 72") is available in both Blue and Scarlet crafted on Luca percale from Italian fabric and finished in the USA with 12 buttonholes.

Guest Towels in Geranium Blue bring the same archival botanical into your bath linens, woven in linen for an elegant, textural complement to the percale bedding.

Tissue Box Covers are available in Geranium Blue, crafted with an Egyptian cotton outer shell and a 100% linen lining.

Matouk Tillett Chrysanthemum: Jacqueline Kennedy's Favorite, Now in Your Bedroom

Where Geranium makes a bold statement, the Chrysanthemum design offers something quieter and equally compelling. Originally created by d.d. Tillett herself, this is the iconic pattern that was famously featured in Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis's Hyannis Port home. Chrysanthemum's flowing floral motif and soft, painterly lines lend a graceful, romantic sensibility to the bed that feels both deeply historical and entirely current.

Chrysanthemum Color Palette

Chrysanthemum is offered in two sophisticated colorways that reflect the design's romantic character:

Blush — Soft, warm tones that create a serene, enveloping bedroom environment perfect for layering.

Blue — Classic painterly depth with versatility across a wide range of interior styles, from traditional to transitional.

Fabric & Finishing

Chrysanthemum's lovely hand-printed florals are printed on Matouk's crisp Luca percale. Finely woven for a smooth touch and cool feel, Luca Egyptian cotton percale is precisely the quality you'd expect from the finest five-star hotel: breathable, luminous, and more supple with every wash. Italian weaving and printing ensure the colors remain brilliant and precise over years of use.

What's Included

The Chrysanthemum range includes pillowcases in Standard and King; flat sheets in Twin through King, fitted sheets in every standard size including California King, Twin through King duvet covers;  shams in all sizes with quilted options, and quilted coverlets in Twin, Full/Queen and King. Shams and duvet covers feature a 1-inch flange; quilted coverlets have a refined piped edge. All fabrics are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified. Chrysanthemum is made in the USA with100% Egyptian cotton percale woven in Italy. 

Pair It With Existing Matouk Designs

Chrysanthemum's soft, painterly palette coordinates naturally with Matouk's solid and tailored collections. Try layering the Blush colorway with Matouk's classic white or bone sheeting for a timeless, tonal bed, or mix with a Matouk Schumacher piece for a bolder, pattern-on-pattern approach. The consistent Luca percale foundation across Matouk collections makes mixing effortless.

Chrysanthemum Bath Accessories

Chrysanthemum carries its graceful, painterly character seamlessly into the bath. Shower curtains are available in both Blush and Blue  (72" x 72"), made in the USA of Italian fabric with 12 buttonholes.

Chrysanthemum Tissue Box Covers are available in both Blush and Blue, featuring a 100% Egyptian cotton outer shell and a 100% linen lining—a beautifully layered material combination that reflects the same attention to detail found throughout the collection. Fabric is from Italy. As these are cut from a larger fabric, pattern placement may vary slightly from piece to piece.

Geranium Table Linens: Archival Design for Your Dining Table

Botanical Beauty on European Linen

The Matouk Tillett Collection extends beautifully to the dining room, where the natural texture of Geranium Blue table linens offer an elegant, lived-in quality that complements both casual family meals and formal entertaining. The natural weave of the linen softens the bold botanical, creating a layered, dimensional effect where the large-scale blooms feel organic rather than printed. This is a table linen designed to be used, loved, and admired for years.

The range includes tablecloths in round (70", 90", and 108") and oblong formats spanning from 70" x 90" through 70" x 162,” which means you'll find the right fit whether you're hosting an intimate dinner or a long harvest table gathering.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Matouk Tillett Collection

The Matouk Tillett Collection is distinguished by its authentic design provenance—these botanical patterns originated in the Tillett Textiles archive of the 1940s and were personally used by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in her Hyannis Port home. Beyond the historical story, the collection is built on 500 thread count Egyptian cotton percale woven and printed in Italy, with all finishing done in the USA. That combination of heritage design and uncompromising material quality is genuinely rare in the luxury bedding market.

The collection features two primary designs: Geranium, a bold large-scale botanical with expressive brushwork available in Blue and Scarlet; and Chrysanthemum, a flowing floral with softer, more painterly lines available in Blush and Blue. Both designs appear across bedding, bath accessories, and—in the case of Geranium—table linens as well.

Yes. All fabrics in the Matouk Tillett Collection carry OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification, which confirms the textiles have been tested and are safe from harmful chemicals. This certification is particularly meaningful for bedding, which is in direct contact with skin for extended periods each night.

Absolutely. Both collections are built on the same Luca 500 thread count Egyptian cotton percale foundation, which means texture and weight are consistent. The design sensibility of both collections—archive-driven botanical and heritage prints—complements each other beautifully when layering shams, throws, or accessories. Our design team at Fine Linen and Bath can advise on specific pairings.

Yes. The collection is designed for whole-home expression. It includes Egyptian cotton shower curtains in all four colorways (Geranium Blue and Scarlet, Chrysanthemum Blush and Blue), tissue box covers, and guest towels. For the table, the Geranium design is printed on 100% linen and available in a full range of tablecloth sizes, dinner napkins, placemats, and a table runner.

Matouk recommends machine washing in cool water on a gentle cycle and tumble drying on low heat. Percale naturally softens with washing, so the Luca ground will become even more supple over time. Avoid high heat and bleach to preserve both the fabric integrity and the vibrancy of the printed botanical designs.
