Matelasse Fabric

Matelasse (pronounced "mat-luh-say") originated in 18th century France as a hand-crafted alternative to quilting. The distinctive raised fabric pattern was featured in the homes of European aristocrats. Today, the traditional quilted appearance of matelasse meets durability, making this dimensional textile perfect for upholstery fabric. When you buy fabric online from our matelasse selection, you're investing in fabric created through specialized weaving techniques rather than actual quilting. This technical distinction will elevate your upholstery fabric choices and highlight your design knowledge.
