This violet brocade is a beautiful, opulent fabric created using the jacquard technique, which makes the production of highly detailed, woven patterns possible. Its intense colors, effective combination of matte and luster, and tactile surface, put it in a class of its own. Historically, brocade has always numbered among prestige fabrics, and that remains true to this day.
Though woven of very fine threads, brocade is sturdy and stiff, making it a good choice for tailored patterns and garments that have to hold their shape. Use it for formal and wedding gowns, skirts, jackets, and evening bags and clutches. In everyday wear it excels in pencil skirts, trousers, or jackets. Menswear applications include ties and bow ties, vests, blazers, and dinner jackets. It is a classic for home decor (pillowcases, tablecloths, drapes) and a go-to for corsets and historical and theatrical costumes.
This brocade is made of polyester. It is sturdy and holds its shape, yet is thinner and slicker than our rayon blend brocade. When choosing a lining for it, reach for something sturdy, such as rayon lining, silk satin or silk serge.
Brocade is a treat to sew with as long as you keep in mind its tendency to fray. Due to the way brocade is put together, the weave is not as tight in some spots and can more easily come loose. Fraying here is not a defect, it is simply something that must be taken into account. Allow a wider seam allowance when cutting and finish the edges with a zigzag or overlock stitch as soon as pieces are sewn together (do this right after cutting if you need to work with pieces before sewing). Reinforce stressed seams (in a tight-fitting gown, trousers, a corset) by applying a strip of fusible interfacing before sewing. A little extra effort will get you stunning results.
This polyester brocade may be hand washed (30°C/86°F), but this will cause slight shrinkage and crimping. If you want to avoid that, we recommend entrusting it to a reliable dry cleaner. Unlike its silk cousin, this brocade will not soften when laundered. Press on the back using the synthetics setting; if the fabric has been pre-shrunk, you may steam it.
The minimum fabric order is a length of 20 cm.
Let the recommended care notes in the fabric description be your guide – it will tell you if the fabric can be washed or steam ironed. For larger projects or more expensive fabrics, we recommend testing anything (washing, ironing, etc.) on a sample – natural and semi-synthetic materials (including brocades) are never absolutely predictable.
Most of our fabrics are one-time offers that last until they are sold out. However, some more popular items are always restocked or can be ordered on request. As a rule, this applies to notions, where the selection is pretty consistent, but may also include some types of fabric. Look at the product's availability value – it shows whether the goods are available while supplies last, in the core inventory or in a seasonal collection.
The goods in the seasonal collection come directly from our verified manufacturers. We change up the colors on offer from season to season but fabric quality is always constant. For large (wholesale) orders, colors that have been sold out can be reordered individually.
The minimum fabric order is a length of 20 cm.
No. We only accept retail orders through the e-shop. This eliminates situations where someone else orders the last of an item while your order is still sitting in our inbox or lies jotted on a bit of paper by the phone. By purchasing online, you are putting an immediate hold on the product. Of course, you can always call or write to us if you need help making your selection.
Yes. We ship worldwide. The price of shipping is automatically calculated at checkout before payment after you select the country of delivery and the preferred carrier. If you do not find your country in the dropdown list, please contact us. You will find a rough overview of shipping costs in our shipping and payment terms.
The estimated delivery date with your selected carrier can be seen before payment is made at checkout. It is calculated as the time for processing and packing your order plus the time it takes the selected carrier to deliver to a specific destination – this can be from 2 days for delivery within the Czech Republic to a week for delivery outside the EU. Expect longer delivery times during big sales and holidays.
