THE PRODUCT:
All of our kitchen accessories are proudly made in the USA. Our cutting and sewing contractor is located in Ventura, California, and is a leading and established contractor with years of experience. The professional workmanship of our sewing contractor is evident and clearly superior to most imports.
Our Prints: The majority of our prints in our “Vintage” line come from a leader and creator of fine quality in the floral print industry. The company recreates quality antique and vintage fabric designs “that are so similar to the originals that even a trained textile buyer has a difficult time telling the reproduction from the antique original”. The company finds American, English and French antique prints and recreates them to become the “new antique fabrics of tomorrow”. Montague Linens has researched extensively and found nothing to compare. You will see these prints labeled as follows: Romantic Floral, Vintage Blue, Vintage Yellow & Tuscan Floral.
