Matthew Lenoci founded Matteo in 1996 to create simple sheets from the most luxurious textiles in the world -- Egyptian cotton, Peruvian alpaca, Baltic flax, Nepalese cashmere. Fabrics are woven in Italy but sewn right here in Los Angeles in the company’s downtown workshop and design studio in the Arts District.

Duvets and pillowcases, tablecloths and napkins, baby clothes and adult sleepwear are all part of Matteo’s sample sale, where everything in the showroom is 50% off. Additional closeout items located in bins outside (sheets, pillow covers and duvets) will range from $5 to $125.

I don’t know what’s cooler -- the products or the renovated warehouse space that houses them. Matteo, 912 E. 3rd St., Los Angeles, 10:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sale runs from today (July 30), until Sunday. Click here to see more. www.matteohome.com
