Creating beautiful hand printed fabrics since 1940

Tillett Textiles was founded in the 1940s by Leslie and D.D. Tillett and has since been beloved for its painterly hand-screened prints. Leslie, an artist collaborating with historic talents like Diego Rivera, and D.D., a photojournalist for Harper’s Bazaar, fell in love in Mexico where they started their eponymous textile printing business. Once they returned to the United States, their patterns quickly found their way into the homes of great tastemakers, including Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Bunny Mellon.

Thirty-five years later, we are committed to preserving that legacy, not only by producing the Tillett patterns in the time-honored tradition of hand-printing (all in the United States), but also by maintaining and expanding Tillett’s ability to customize designs. As always, we will offer custom colorways, different ground cloth options, scale changes, and fully custom work.
