Composition: 100% Polyester
Width: 160cm / 62.9inch

Colour:
A rich and darkly opulent regal palette of historic red hues dominates this impeccably woven polyester jacquard. Gothic-style circular and diamond motifs (beloved by Pugin) sit resplendently like cathedral windows gleaming and catching the light with glossy cranberry-hued silken yarns.
A base and background of the darkest full bodied red wine is created from weaving silken black and cranberry yarns. The final flourish is a pinpoint of light centring around the circular motifs created from the palest silver yarns. An altogether seriously sophisticated palette ideal for adding luxury to your bespoke apparel.

Team this silken jacquard fabric with dress crepes and fine wool worsted weight fabrics for a lavish style to create fantastic block-panelled garments with special occasion glamour- try contrasting yokes, cuffs, collars or more striking looks using clashing/colour-blocking panels for a runway-inspired look.
This will of course compliment rich and opulent autumn-winter woollen pieces, from finely tailored pieces to accessories and Jemima Waistcoats. Add a pop of opulence to your usual black key pieces.
Boasting a soft, silky feel, lightly textured and boasting a subtle sheen. This first-rate fabric has a lightweight yet semi-structured (lightly crisp) hand that is stable width and lengthwise, with a delicious drape and excellent body which will form exquisite full gathers, pleats and statement bows.

Fabworks x Avoca
Fabworks’ association with Avoca began in 2011, when Fabworks Mill Shop was only a fraction of what it is today, and way before Fabworks Online existed. We were approached by Avoca with an offer to buy their surplus fabric from the previous seasons' collections. What an opportunity! A deal was struck, and what arrived at our warehouse a few weeks later was the most amazing selection of Irish-made pure wool fabrics, plus all the accessorising elements within the Avoca ladieswear collection (elaborate trimmings, gorgeous embroidered silks, lightweight satins, Liberty jerseys) and the cherry on top of the cake – Irish-made Donegal Tweed!
The working relationship between Fabworks and Avoca blossomed over the next few years and allowed Fabworks to develop its focus on high end ladies’ dressmaking fabrics and away from the lower end of the textiles market.
Four years and several thousand metres of fabric later, Fabworks took a bigger step than ever before, and collaborated with Avoca to commission its own range of Irish-made pure wool fabrics which marked the launch of Fabworks Online, November 16th 2015. This was a defining moment for Fabworks, being the very first collection of fabrics that we commissioned ourselves. With a range of herringbones in iconic Avoca colour-rich palettes, this was Fabworks’ first taste of proper manufacturing in the 21st century.
