Gretchen Bellinger

This Capital Region-based textile designer’s Bellinger fabrics have been featured in publications such as Architectural Digest, and are a part of the design collections of major museums, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art. While there is no retail shop to purchase the elegant and intricately woven fabrics, they are available to the trade through designers and architects. “Our collection speaks to those who approach design as a reflection of one’s self,” says Bellinger.
