Jacquard and brocade are patterned fabrics where the design is woven in, not printed — a jacquard loom controls each thread to form the motif. In a brocade, the pattern threads float on the surface for a raised effect; damask is the flat, reversible version of the same idea. Our collection includes floral jacquards, damasks, and raised brocades. Typical uses are upholstery, drapery, formal wear, waistcoats, event decor, and table linens. Most are polyester or polyester-blend, 54 to 60 inches wide; care varies by fabric — check the product listing. Because the pattern is structural, it will not fade or wash off the way prints can, and the fabrics have a natural body that suits structured applications. Damask table linens are the classic use — the reversible pattern looks right from every seat at the table. Brocade's raised texture also makes it a favorite for waistcoats and historical costumes. Jacquard and brocade fabrics are priced from $5.99 per yard, with full bolts at wholesale pricing for upholsterers, drapery workrooms, and event companies.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between jacquard and brocade?
Jacquard is the weaving method that creates woven patterns. Brocade is a type of jacquard where pattern threads float on the surface for a raised effect.
What is damask?
Damask is a flat, reversible jacquard — the pattern shows on both sides, one matte and one shiny. It is common for table linens and drapery.
Is brocade too heavy for apparel?
Apparel-weight jacquards and brocades work for jackets, skirts, and formal wear. Heavier upholstery-weight brocades are better for decor.
Does the pattern fade with washing?
No — the pattern is woven into the structure, not printed on, so it cannot wash or fade off.
Do you sell jacquard and brocade wholesale?
Yes — We are very strong in selling Jacquard and Broacade fabrics in full bolts at wholesale pricing for upholsterers and event companies, with free US shipping on orders over $50. **New FAQs (4) — proposed:**
My brocade starts fraying the second I cut it — what do I do?
Finish the edges immediately after cutting — brocade and jacquard unravel fast because the pattern threads float loosely on the surface. Serge, pink, or run a staystitch line within minutes of cutting each piece. Don't leave cut brocade pieces sitting around overnight unless you like watching your seam allowances disappear.
Which side of the brocade is the right side?
The raised, dimensional side of brocade is the face — that's the side the pattern threads float on. On jacquard without floats, both sides are usually presentable, so you can even use the reverse deliberately for a subtler look. Mark your face side with chalk before cutting; once you've sewn two pieces wrong-sides together you'll wish you had.
Can I iron brocade, or will I ruin the pattern?
Press brocade on the reverse side with low heat and a press cloth — high heat crushes the raised pattern and can melt synthetic threads. The fabric itself is machine washable, but the iron is where the damage happens. We've seen customers flatten a beautiful damask into a shiny pancake with one hot pass, so test on a scrap first.
Is brocade durable enough for chair cushions that get daily use?
Apparel-weight brocade will show wear on high-traffic furniture — pick a heavier upholstery-weight jacquard or brocade for cushions and seat covers. The woven pattern itself won't fade, but a lighter weave pills and compresses under daily sitting. For decorative pillows that nobody sits on, the lighter weights are perfectly fine. ---
