Jacquard fabric is any cloth whose pattern is woven directly into the fabric structure on a Jacquard loom, rather than printed on the surface. Jacquard is a weaving technique, not a fiber: silk, wool, cotton, viscose and polyester can all be jacquard-woven. Woven-in patterns keep their definition through years of upholstery use, which makes jacquard a quality marker in furnishing textiles.
Is jacquard fabric good?
A jacquard weave is structurally denser than a plain weave of the same fiber because the figured pattern interlaces additional threads. Sarelli jacquards are woven from yarn-dyed fibers on electronic looms controlling up to 10,000 individual warp threads, producing damasks, brocades and figured designs across the luxury fabrics collection. Pattern durability, color depth and a substantial hand are the practical quality benefits.
Is jacquard for summer or winter, and is it polyester?
Jacquard is season-neutral: fiber content decides the seasonal feel. Linen and cotton jacquards suit summer interiors; wool and heavy viscose jacquards add warmth in winter. Jacquard is not the same as polyester: polyester is one possible fiber, while jacquard describes the weaving method. Sarelli furnishing jacquards use silk, wool, linen, cotton and viscose blends, listed per design in the fabrics composition guide.
