Bates Mill Store Woven Throws
posted in Luxury Throws |The Bates Mill Store opened in the 1950’s by Bates Manufacturing to provide an outlet for second quality bedspreads and to offer employees bedspreads at a discount. The Bates Mill Store has been selling factory direct Bates Mill Store woven throws for over 50 years in both matelasse and candlewick/chenille. These throws are first quality and loomed to be heirloomed.
Boston Industrialist Benjamin Bates formed Bates Manufacturing, a textile mill in Lewiston, Maine, in 1850. The company, in various forms and under various owners, would continue to do business for almost 150 years, developing a national reputation for its elegant bedspreads and other stylish fabrics.
Woven luxury bedspreads, throws, coverlets and shams from Maine heritage weavers are machine washable, preshrunk and fade resistant due to the quality of raw materials used in their manufacturing process.
Although the textile industry in America has changed over the years, we continue to be the factory direct supplier of Bates style and quality throws, coverlets, shams and bedspreads. These bedspreads are woven by the last generation of Bates employees, who are now the first generation of employees of Maine Heritage Weavers, who are proud to produce some of the finest textiles in America.
