Get ready for the ultimate summer bedding. We’ve teamed up with our friend, the talented Erin Gates, to create a capsule bedding collection that will work in every bedroom this summer.
With subtle trending neutrals that can be mixed, matched, and styled in any bedroom, the collection is designed to complement. Available in two colorways, taupe and slate, each percale sheet set, printed hand-stitched channel quilt with coordinating shams, sublimely soft baby Alpaca and merino wool woven throw blanket, and throw pillows will achieve the ultimate bed that is airy and classic in design and layered in comfort.

“I am so excited to be collaborating with Kassatex on this bedding collection,” said Gates. “We’ve worked together to create a line that combines my signature style with Kassatex’s commitment to quality and comfort. The result is a collection of bedding that is both stylish and practical, perfect for anyone looking to elevate their sleep experience.”
Ahead of the launch, we spent time with Erin at her beautiful home in Wellesley. Watch the video below for our rapid fire Q&A with Erin Gates.
