Jacquard Fabrics Guide
Jacquard fabrics are renowned for their intricate woven patterns, durability, and timeless elegance. Using a special weaving technique developed in the early 19th century, jacquard textiles bring depth and sophistication to interiors. At Studio 198, we offer a curated collection of jacquard fabrics in a variety of patterns, textures, and colours, perfect for both traditional and contemporary spaces.
What are jacquard fabrics?
Jacquard fabrics are created using a special loom that weaves patterns directly into the fabric, rather than printing them on the surface. This technique allows for complex, textured designs such as florals, damasks, geometrics, and abstract motifs. They are often made from cotton, silk, polyester, or blended fibres, giving them both strength and versatility.
