Add a touch of sophistication to your creations with this tartan bouclé tweed fabric, a rare and elegant textile from the dormant stock of a prestigious French luxury house (this fabric will not be restocked or returned to stock).
Made in Italy, this fabric combines the softness of cotton (48%), the warmth of virgin wool (40%), and the strength of polyamide (12%), for a supple drape while maintaining a beautiful shape.
Its bouclé texture, subtle tartan pattern, and Blueberry shade (deep blue with a slight heather) give it a classic yet contemporary style. Perfect for structured garments and statement pieces: jackets, lightweight coats, straight or A-line skirts, pleated pants, or accessories like bags, collars, or stoles.

Which side to sew? Observe and touch your coupon. The choice of the reverse and the right side of the fabric will be at your convenience, the weaving work highlights more or less the different threads, in particular those in relief (we have favored the most textured side for the right side).
Washing
- Before sewing your fabric, you may like to iron it on the reverse side with steam to fix the fibers
- Overlock the edges of your cut before sewing
- Wash at 30°C on a delicate program, preferably in a laundry net
- Gentle spin, 400 revolutions maximum
- Do not tumble dry
- Iron at a maximum temperature of 110°: Be careful not to iron your fabric too hard at the risk of damaging the most textured threads or yellowing your fabric.
