We're excited to show you the new bedding collection by Tasha Polizzi! We've just finished adding several new bedding sets - comforters, duvet covers, sheets and quilts and we're really impressed with the nostalgic Western feel of these designs. If you're not familiar with the brand, let us introduce you to the world of Tasha Polizzi...
Tasha Polizzi is an iconic fashion brand that is known for upscale Western apparel and accessories. It was founded by a trailblazing entrepreneur who entered the world of high fashion as a young woman in the 1970's, who happened upon a job with Geoffrey Bean in New York. Impressed with her design talent and strong work ethic, she became a favored protege of several famed designers of the day. She worked her way up in the world of women's fashion, based in the hustle and bustle of New York City. She had it all, but eventually longed for a quieter life.
So this is where the story gets really cool- Tasha and her young family moved to the country and she started her own business. A classic American tale of hard work and ingenuity. Don't we all love those stories? They moved to the Berkshires in Massachusetts, and opened a small retail store focusing on home decor and apparel with a rustic outdoorsy flavor. It was a hit, and the rest is history.
Tasha was able to use her vast experience in fashion design to create a unique line of clothing and accessories that was a perfect fit for those who appreciate the joys of a relaxed country life. (But also enjoy a bit of rustic bling!) Definitely not the sort of clothing one would choose for mucking out the stalls... No, her form of rustic style is high end and upscale, using luxury fabrics and intricate patterns to create a unique blend of rugged and refined. Here's a gorgeous example, called the Gabriel Pullover. (Definitely on the Christmas wishlist.)
Out of this clothing line a new design house was born. Over the years, it enjoyed great success and become a well loved source of inspiration to many. Sadly, Tasha passed away in 2017 after a brave battle with cancer. Her family has continued the business, and maintains the T.P. Saddleblanket store in Great Barrington, MA and her designs are also available online at TashaPolizzi.com
In 2025, the Tasha Polizzi brand has partnered with Paseo Road to design a new line of bedding and home accessories with her signature blend of rustic and refined. Here is what Paseo Road/HiEnd Accents has to say about the pairing:
"The bedding pieces in our initial Tasha Polizzi for Paseo Road lineup bring the spirit of the American West and English countryside into the bedroom with style and comfort. From rugged denim to delicate florals, bold geometrics to classic equestrian motifs, this debut offering showcases a diverse range of looks. By blending Paseo Road’s renowned quality with Tasha Polizzi’s iconic designs, we provide retailers with a unique product line that stands out in the home goods market."
One thing that we love about this collection is the warm nostalgic feel evoked by many of the designs. One can almost imagine a young Tasha watching Western movies as a child and later incorporating these images into her designs. Mid Century Modern style is huge right now, but we don't see a whole lot of 50's retro/vintage Western influence in the market. Tasha Polizzi and Paseo Road have nailed this look with their adorable new Settler Quilt, shown here.
And here, in the bunkhouse...
Gotta love that vintage style. Other highlights of this collection include a colorful Bandana Quilt set, which pairs effortlessly with Lee Duvet Cover Set. Crafted from a soft, durable cotton face, this quilt features a stunning patchwork design that blends patriotic tones and classic Western motifs. The set includes matching shams, so you can create a cohesive look that's both stylish and cozy. Looks like a few friends crashed this photo shoot ~
The whimsical Lee washed cotton print features a lovely assortment of Western symbols and imagery, including rodeo cowboys, horse shoes, shooting stars and rustic botanicals. Made from a classic blue washed denim fabric, this set will soften beautifully over time while maintaining its distinctive character. It is available as a comforter set, duvet cover set, and also a fluffy throw blanket and toss pillow.
Another favorite of this collection in the Rosabel floral print. It is a sweet look that is fit for a rodeo queen, or anyone who appreciates the charming mix of denim and florals. Rosabel is also available as a comforter set, duvet cover set, throw blanket and toss pillow. A version of this print is featured on the reverse side of the Bandana Quilt, shown perviously. As you can see below, the two patterns make a winning combo.
Now, if you're looking for something a little bolder, check out the show stopper below. This pattern is called Mariella and it's an Aztec-inspired geometric pattern that oozes Western charm. This woven chenille fabric combines earthy shades of blue, brown, rust and tan into a rich tapestry of geometric beauty.
Here is a closer up image of the plush chenille fabric. This design also comes in a comforter set or a duvet cover set. And also a gorgeous throw blanket and toss pillow. It's really quite a stunning Southwestern pattern.
We think Tasha Polizzi's collection is the perfect addition to our nostalgic rustic offerings. Her designs capture the essence of the American West, with intricate patterns and a warm, inviting color palette that instantly makes you feel at home. This bedding collection is a timeless blend of modern and vintage, offering a cozy, lived-in feel that's sure to transform your home into a rustic ranch house. Whether you're going for a farmhouse style look or a more Western-themed aesthetic, these pieces will seamlessly integrate into your existing decor.
So, if you're in the market for a cozy, rustic update to your space, be sure to check out Tasha Polizzi's collection at Retro Barn. Your inner cowgirl (or cowboy) will thank you. For now, this collection includes bedding and a few home accessories, but we hear more pieces are coming soon. We can't wait to see what's in store, so be sure to check back with us!
