Bainbridge

About

Bainbridge is a wonderfully soft linen of the finest quality, a sophisticated semi-sheer leno weave. The fibers are very long fibers. The linen is not "cottonized."* Beautiful as drapery as well as duvet covers, clothes - lots of uses. Now Bainbridge is a semi-sheer, so you might need an underlayment fabric from some uses. Try our muslin, Astoria, Asotin, Sateen — lots of choices.

Eco Facts

Bainbridge is a GOTS certified fabric: GOTS (the Global Organic Textile Standard) is your assurance of many important things that can make you feel great about your fabric choice; including the fact that no known or suspected toxic chemicals have been used in the manufacture of the fabric, so you won't find them residual in the fabric you are using. 

And like all Two Sisters fabrics, Bainbridge has no flame retardant or stain repellent finishes, no finish of any kind. Learn about why you'll want to insist that all the fabric you buy is GOTS certified.

Fabric Name

Located in the middle of Puget Sound, Bainbridge Island is a 35-minute ferry ride from Seattle, so it's no wonder that over 60% of islanders commute to Seattle for their employment. Bainbridge Island is a stop along The Whale Trail: sites where one can have a reasonably good chance of seeing orcas or other cetaceans at some time during the year.

Care

Although Bainbridge can be washed in cool water and line dried, professional green cleaning is recommended to maintain its crisp appearance. If washed, iron while still damp; because, if you wait until the linen is completely dry, linen is really hard to iron. If it does get dry, spritz with distilled water (If there are minerals in your tap water, those minerals may stain).
