Bright, hot pinks like BOUGAINVILLEA burst forth from the abstract art of post-war British artist Patrick Heron, illuminating space with the radiance of summer flowers.
A true colorist, Heron dedicated much of his life to the exploration of how one tone could bounce of another, and create sonorous or discordant sensations. He said, “I think this world is magical. Color, form, space, relationships – these elevate life.

At a lighter weight of 3.5 ounces this 58 inch wide 100% linen is woven with finer threads to give it a smoother appearance. Referred to as lightweight or handkerchief linen, this fine, but surprisingly sturdy linen brings new meaning to the term "sheer elegance".

The cloth is Softened so we have added a softener to give it a silkier hand. The fabric has not been laundered so shrinkage will still have to be taken into consideration (shrinkage depends on fabric weave and laundering method).

Customer Questions and Answers

I'm not familiar with the different linen weights. Would this fabric be appropriate for a structured top? Thank you.

This fabric is a light and airy fabric, so it may be too light for a 'structured top' Depending on how much structure you need, I'd recommend either our medium or heavyweight fabrics. If you'd like please email us directly using the contact form and our in-house seamstress would he happy to see what design or pattern you are working with and recommend the best fabric for you.

We have had customers us this finer lightweight linen for napkins and they are beautiful . We do recommend ordering a swatch just to make sure the color and weight will work for your project.

I need a sample of lightweight Bouganvilla, but there is no place on the site to order just a sample of this color.

More pink

I thought it would be more reddish. It is a deep rich pink. Still beautiful though. Buttery feel! Will be purchasing more. I want a pair of pants and/or a top. A top in this color and a pair of optic white pants would be gorgeous! Or vice versa!!
