What is Jacquard?

The word Jacquard belongs to the weaving technique used to create the fabric. A jacquard weave is created through a loom process. Jacquard fabric features a raised woven pattern that is directly woven onto the fabric, rather than embroidered, dyed, or printed. This textured pattern adds beautiful details to the surface of any fabric. It is durable and stretchy in comparison to other fabrics. According to the design cart website “Jacquard weaves are produced on a special loom that is characterized by complex designs that are woven in with repetition of designs or tapestry effects.” Jacquard weave is so versatile; it can be on any fabric including knitted or woven. Jacquard weaves have a reverse pattern that is noticeable on the inside of a garment. This can be found in any of our stunning jacquard garments. It can be effortlessly mixed with any fabric.

The origins of Jacquard

In 1804, Joseph Marie Jacquard, who was a French weaver and merchant invented a loom attachment which automated how patterns were woven. Jacquard looms use a chain of punched cards with holes in them to create a pattern in the weave. Sewport states on their website “Joseph Marie Jacquard’s original punched-card design played an important role in the development of electronic computing science by serving as a source of inspiration for Charles Babbage.” Jacquard looms cards have now been replaced by using computer programs, making it more efficient.
