When Tallulah Willis was moving in 2021, she was trying to piece together everything she would need to make her feel at home.

Already a fan of the luxury silk brand, Kumi KooKoon, Willis, 30, was excited to add a blanket from the company to her decor. When the package arrived, "I opened it up and it's this emerald green, king-sized blanket, and it was literally took my breath away," Willis tells PEOPLE. "I swaddled it around my body. I have a photo of me sitting on my couch with it and I was like, 'This is an experience. This is incredible.'"

Willis was so impressed she reached out to the company to thank them and in turn asked if she could help with their marketing and social media to spread the word about their products: "I was like, oh my God, how is this magical thing being kind of gate kept by the sheer fact that nobody knows about it?"

Now the Los Angeles-based entrepreneur and artist is launching a capsule collection from the brand called Kumi KøøBuu, which includes vibrant new shades of dyed silk unique to her collection with items like throws, bed sheets, duvet covers and pillow cases.

Willis wanted to be very involved in the creative process. "I pitched them a lot of different ideas of coming in, directing the site, and then what kind of came to be was this idea of focusing on the blankets," explains Willis, who was diagnosed with autism last year.

"I really found myself particularly drawn to them, especially because they have a weighted nature to them. And as I am learning more about my autism and my sensory stuff, there is something very safe and special about that weighted feeling."

She also was very selective when it came to the colors of silk in her collection. "I got to pick whatever I wanted. It was like a kid in a candy shop," she says. "I really wanted something that could pop, especially because I always envisioned them on a couch, on a bed. They were so special in my mind, a centerpiece, a real statement. They're works of art."

Tallulah's collection, Kumi KøøBuu, is available on Kumi Kookoon's website and @kumikookoonofficial on Instagram.
