Sheet Happens

Lulu DK Matouk Sheets

When it comes to sheets, threads count. All 500 of them.

And baby will learn the lesson forever, the moment she lays her precious head on Lulu DK Matouk linens.

Made of super-soft Egyptian cotton, the stylish, simple crib collection comes in playful patterns that work in mod and traditional nurseries alike. Designed by textile diva Lulu de Kwiatkowski and crafted by luxe manufacturer Matouk, the line includes everything from bumpers to quilts to pillow shams to basic fitted sheets.

The whimsical patterns are meant to work together in endless combinations. Mix subtle pink confetti with soothing blue willows or minnows to create a minimalist layette fit for your own master bedroom.

Now you’re talking sweet and chic dreams.

Available next week at Gracious Home, 1217 Third Avenue, at 70th Street (212-517-6300 or gracioushome.com). To see styles, go to luludkmatouk.com.
