Marimekko fabrics are printed in Helsinki, Finland, using either the flatbed or rotary printing methods. Please note that the fabric reports can deviate from the stated +/- 3% and the changes in size are dependent on the quality of the fabric. Our fabrics are 145 to 150 cm wide. 

About fabric reports    


When printing large-scale patterns with the flatbed printing method, a so called ‘report line’ is left on the ends of the design. The report line shows in various ways, depending on the colors and pattern of the fabric.

This is what gives the fabric its unique look – the report line is not a flaw, but characteristic of the printing method, and can also be used as an effect.

Washing 


Recommended washing instructions are based on the material component, printing technique and fabric finishings. To maintain the colors and characteristics of the fabric, please check always the recommended washing instructions and follow the given washing temperature.  

Batiste 


Batiste fabric, with its fine cotton thread and plain weave, is ideal for curtains thanks to its light weight and transparency.

Our coated cotton fabrics have either a phthalate-free PVC or acrylic coating. We recommend washing coated cotton fabrics with plenty of water and ironing on the reverse side.
