New To Brocade?
Brocade is a woven decorative fabric featuring intricate designs created directly during weaving rather than being printed onto the surface.
It has a luxurious appearance with excellent body, making it ideal for costumes, occasion wear, traditional garments, home décor and statement sewing projects.
Polyester brocade is durable, colourfast and easier to care for than traditional silk brocades while offering the same elegant look.
