Black and Grey Alpujarreña Stripe Brocade

The Black and Grey Alpujarreña Striped Brocade Fabric stands out for its combination of shades of black, grey and white with subtle beige undertones, forming an intricate design of stripes and small geometric motifs. Inspired by the traditional textiles of the Alpujarra region, this design combines a distinctively handcrafted and ethnic print aesthetic with a neutral and highly versatile colour palette.

With an extra wide width of 280 cm, this jacquard brocade fabric allows for the making up of large-scale pieces whilst minimising the number of joins and seams. Its composition of 45% polyester, 27% cotton fabric and 28% PA provides durability, stability and good body, making it suitable for both clothing and decorative projects.

The contrast between black, grey and white enhances the richness of the fabric’s various weaves and patterns. It is a particularly interesting choice for making up regional costumes, traditional clothing, folk dresses, the Three Kings’ procession, carnival, theatre and shows, as well as for ethnic print decorative projects.

Suggested uses: regional costumes, traditional clothing, theatre, carnival, parades, stage sets, cushions, drapes, lightweight upholstery, props and decorative projects.

Sewing tip: use a universal needle 90/14 or 100/16 and good-quality polyester thread. As this is a brocade fabric with different wefts, we recommend overcasting or needling the edges after cutting to prevent fraying. For garments with multiple pieces, pay attention to the direction of the stripes whilst cutting to achieve a uniform finish.
