Maine Heritage Weavers bedspreads, coverlets, and throws are woven from the highest grade cotton on Jacquard looms in Lewiston, Maine. The same city where Benjamin Bates began Bates Manufacturing in 1850.
Maine Heritage Weavers, which began over 5 years ago by former Bates Fabrics employees, weaves these luxury throws, bedspreads and coverlets in 100 percent heavy, pre-shrunk cotton. Woven on similar Jacquard and dobby looms as Bates, trapunto woven (matelasse) Heritage coverlets and bedspreads are available in many colors including sage, burgundy and blue.
Heritage (also remembered as Heirloom) is a repeat pattern of a circular and leaf design and one of the oldest designs in our vintage matelasse collection. They are truly “loomed to be heirloomed”.
In addition to these elegant bedspreads, coverlets, shams and throws are available. Coverlets feature pom-pom fringe and bedspreads have string fringe. They are machine washable and are woven with fade-resistant dyed yarn. They are fully guaranteed by Maine Heritage Weavers. Custom sizes are available to accommodate thicker mattresses.
