Jacquard Brocade “The Art of Relief” – Brick Red & Antique Gold Flowers
The Fabric
A high-fashion textile masterpiece that celebrates the centuries-old tradition and craftsmanship of Como, a district renowned worldwide for its production of the finest silks. This 230-gram jacquard brocade is a true wearable sculpture, born from the fusion of a rich silk base, highlighted by shimmering touches of lurex and the fluidity of viscose.
The visual and tactile surface is a triumph of craftsmanship and three-dimensionality. A sumptuous jacquard weave featuring floral motifs in high relief unfolds over a deep brick red background. Each flower is outlined by a sophisticated raised ribbing effect that sculpts its details, while the inside of the petals features a precious antique gold weave that captures and emphasizes the light with every movement. In the background, the complex jacquard weave reproduces a fascinating woven flame that gives the fabric a vibrant, lively texture with inimitable depth.
Unique Features
Noble and Elastic Composition: The very high percentage of silk provides an unparalleled sheen and feel, while lurex lends magnetic metallic reflections.
Hand: Structured, full-bodied, rich, textured, and firm (perfect for maintaining tailored shapes).
Style Tips
This jewel-like fabric was created to be the undisputed star of the most exclusive occasions. It is ideal for creating an evening jacket, a grand evening coat, or structured skirts. It pairs beautifully with minimalist, clean-cut accessories in black silk or velvet to avoid overpowering the look.
Care and Maintenance
Given the presence of ultra-fine silks, metallic lurex yarns, and high-relief details, this fabric requires extremely careful and delicate care:
Washing: Dry clean only at laundries specializing in haute couture and fine fabrics. The use of water, bleach, or harsh treatments that could damage the raised flowers and the metallic thread is strictly prohibited.
Drying: Never use a dryer. The garment should be left to dry in the shade, flat or hung on a generously shaped hanger to preserve the structure of the shoulders and jacket.
Ironing: Iron at a very low temperature (maximum 110°C), strictly on the reverse side to avoid crushing the ribbing and raised flowers. It is recommended to always place a clean, dry cotton cloth between the iron and the fabric. Avoid using steam directly on the surface of the brocade.
Storage: Store the garment in a breathable fabric bag (avoid plastic) and on a suitable hanger. Store in a dry place, away from hooks, zippers, or jewelry that could get caught in the intricate jacquard weave.
