Born the son of a Syrian jeweler, John Matouk immigrated to Italy as a young man and then to the United States in 1929. He arrived in New York with trunks of the exquisite linens that he had discovered in Italy, and the Matouk brand was derived from a desire to give Americans ready access to the world’s most luxurious linens.
Initially, linens were strictly imported from Italy. However, supply lines were cut off during World War II. This forced John to expand his operation and open a factory in Manhattan. Seventy five years later, Matouk remains a family-run company, with John's grandson in charge. The Matouk factory and headquarters are located in Fall River, Massachusetts inside a world-class facility that features uses solar energy and houses advanced production technologies. A majority of items are woven at this factory, while others are strategically imported from elsewhere.
Matouk's style can be described as traditional; however quality attention to detail ensures a refined appearance.
