Description
Specifications:
Weight: Heavy
GSM: 437
Composition: Polyester Acrylic
Width: 164cm / 64.5inch
Colour:
This super cute Teddy bear style faux fur boasts a warm and cuddly cinnamon gold hue which appears almost multi-tonal thanks to its clever texture.
Properties:
basket texture
This super cute faux fur fabric boasts a dense and comforting pile akin to the coat of the softest poodle. Look closely and you will see the fur is textured in a rhythmic repeating pattern akin to basketweave. This is one of those comforting fabrics you have to bury your fingers into!
Bungle Bear boasts a sumptuous, soft and heavy drape quality (when draped at length) with slight width-wise stretch to the close and hard-wearing base knit.
Garment and Other Uses:
Luxury fur fabrics of this quality are excellent for making blankets, throws, cushions and pillows as well as soft toys.
If you can't pull off a full fur coat then why not make cute gillets stoles, tippets and wraps which can be worn with your existing garments to add an accent of fur? Bungle Bear is perfect to use for stylish accessories too; try hats, and bags and use it to trim plain camel, cream, and brown, woollens.
Sourced As Deadstock:
This fabric is from the Fabworks x Avoca collaboration for A/W 2024, that features a collection of deadstock luxury dressmaking fabrics & trimmings.
Delivered to Fabworks straight from the Avoca garment makers, this fabric has very limited stock availability and cannot be repeated once sold out. If you've spotted something you like, don't leave it too long before ordering!
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.
