Update: Melinamade’s website is gone again. If you are looking for barkcloth, go to our story: 6 places to find barkloth.
I bought one yard of melinamade.com’s “celestial aqua” barkcloth to make the valance in my kitchen — and the fabric was just awesome. It is really nice and heavy-weight…great “hand”, or feel…and the colors are rich and beautiful. I love it, it makes a huge difference!
In the photos you get to see Melina herself. If you read the “about” section on her website, you can see that she got into the business out of passion — which we totally identify with!! The site also notes that she was able to identify one of the few remaining companies the still weave barkcloth in the 40s-60s way, so this is the real deal.

A very old story. As I recall, this business disappeared more than a few years ago. See this story on other places we know of to buy barkcloth: https://retrorenovation.com/2011/01/15/where-to-buy-barkcloth-places/
