Alpujarra-style Lurex Brocade with Stripes in Scarlet and Pink

The Alpujarreña Lurex Stripe Brocade in Scarlet and Pink stands out for its elegant combination of fine stripes in shades of scarlet, maroon, pink and gold, accompanied by small dark accents that add depth and enhance the pattern. The metallic Lurex threads create delicate shimmering reflections that enrich the fabric and give it a sophisticated finish. Its design of stripes and small geometric motifs, inspired by traditional fabrics from the Alpujarra region, combines artisanal and ethnic character 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 fabric 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 crimson and pink tones with gold highlights lends warmth, visual richness 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 decorative appeal and extra wide width 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, processions, 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 cloth, testing on a scrap piece first to preserve the metallic Lurex threads.
