Lurex Brocade with Alpujarra Stripes in Nautical Print

The Navy Alpujarreña Lurex Striped Brocade Fabric stands out for its elegant combination of rich navy blue, bluish and gold tones, which create an attractive design of fine stripes with small geometric details. The gold Lurex metallic threads provide delicate shimmering highlights that contrast with the dark background, enhancing the richness of the fabric and giving it a sophisticated finish. Its design, inspired by traditional striped fabrics from the Alpujarra region, combines artisanal and ethnic charm with an elegant and decorative aesthetic.

With an extra wide width of 280 cm, this brocade jacquard fabric allows for the making up of large-format pieces whilst reducing the number of joins and seams. Its composition of 45% polyester, 27% cotton and 28% polyamide (PA) provides strength, stability and good body, qualities that are highly desirable for both garment making and interior design projects.

The combination of navy blue and gold highlights lends depth, elegance and a distinguished air, making this fabric an excellent choice for making up regional costumes, traditional attire, folk dresses, the Three Kings’ procession, carnival, theatre and performances. Its extra wide design and decorative appeal also make it suitable for use in cushions, curtains, stage sets, props and décor inspired by ethnic styles.

Suggested uses: regional costumes, traditional attire, theatre, carnival, parades, stage decoration, cushions, lightweight upholstery, props and projects inspired by ethnic styles.

Sewing tip: use a universal needle 90/14 or 100/16 and good-quality polyester thread. Due to its brocade weave, we recommend overcasting or neatening the edges after cutting to prevent fraying. Iron on reverse at a low temperature using a protective woollen cloth, testing on a scrap piece first to preserve the metallic Lurex threads.
