Coming from the French word for curled or looped 'Boucle' is a versatile fabric, almost teddy like in texture with a slubby surface. Cosy and inviting Boucle is generally made from wool, but cotton, silk and linen are sometimes used. It's balance between soft and hard wearing makes it ideal for upholstery and home accessories.
Seen first in the 1940's Knoll furniture company used a classic boucle on cloud like chairs, then in the 1950s boucle became a fashion staple thanks to Coco Chanel. This fabric is now well and truly back in the spotlight and we think it's hear to stay.
Things we love about boucle:
soft to touch - like a big hug
looks great in neutral and earthy tones
adds texture - more practical than velvet and more interesting than linen
can be layered up think mossy cushions on fresh white sofas
rooted in mid century design but proving to be timeless
fits with many different interior styles - creating understated luxury
