Boucle Home Decor Fabric 2021
Popularised by Coco Chanel the desire and demand for Boucle swings in and out of fashion in 2020. Today it is the hottest trending furnishing fabric.
Her use of the now legendary fabric was not only inspired by menswear, but by a man—and a Duke no less. After borrowing sportswear from her beau, the Duke of Westminster, Chanel realized the comfortable, supple fabric had a sophisticated quality that would lend itself well to her designs. Beginning in 1924, Chanel enlisted a Scottish factory to produce her iconic tweed fabrics for everything from sportswear to suits and coats. She'd choose colors she was inspired by from the Scottish countryside, bringing back leaves and bits of earth to her manufacturers.
As the years passed it was used extensively during the 1960s for modern furniture. Wind forward to the present, boucle fabric is perfect for re-modelling vintage modernist chairs and sofas.
