It is a weave that uses different types of yarn, some of which shrink during finishing to create the puffed, quilted appearance. It's a fabric that has been manufactured for more than 200 years, & these days Portugal is the most famed producer. We've sourced our Matelasse range from Guimaraes, which is an historic town famous for its textiles. Why choose the Floral Matelasse Bedspread? It's a style that has been made for centuries, & we've created a simple, modern interpretation that's made in the traditional manner. The Floral Matelasse Bedspread is a midweight bedspread that pairs perfectly with our French Linen bed linen
