Jacquards

Jacquard, a term often referencing chic celebrity fashions, dates back to the 1760s. Named after inventor Joseph-Marie Jacquard who revolutionized looms with a punch-card technique allowing for more safety and automation in the weaving of intricate designs. The construction is not like embroidery; rather, a motif is woven into the construction of the weave, making a reverse pattern on the opposite side. The House of Scalamandre, Thibaut and Kravet feature exquisite jacquards. Discover your statement fabric with unmatched visual complexity for home décor or fashion.
