Matelasse Drapery Fabrics

The padded look of our Matelasse Drapery Fabric invites a comforting feeling, softening any room it is in. Matelasse has a complex woven structure that requires multiple weft and warp series. Thicker threads, typically not seen on the face of the fabric, create the illusion of a puffed– or quilted– surface. Named after the French word “to quilt,” matelasse fabric was designed in the late 1700s to emulate the renowned and expensive quilts of southern France. Today, matelasse is common in home decor projects because of its comfortable texture and heavy weight. Create supple curtains, drapes, and other window treatments with Mood’s Matelasse Drapery Fabric!
