Colour:
Shades: Pink Parfait boasts a sweet palette of candy-pastel hues, reminiscent of a box of French macarons. Soft pink forms the charming base of the design, intersected with woven checks of zesty pastel lime, vintage blue-violet and fresh white, uplifting and light, like a perfect summer’s day.
Design: This closely woven, textured bouclé check fabric has a distinctly French couture-inspired fancy tweed aesthetic, combining visual charm with wearable sophistication.
Overall: Perfect for creating lighter-weight separates imbued with unmistakable French designer style, Pink Parfait offers elegance with a playful, modern twist.
Properties:
Texture: A lightly textured, almost cotton-like feel awaits your hand in this chic French-style bouclé-blended wool, cotton and polyester fabric, offering comfort alongside visual interest.
Handle: Closely woven for a stable hand, both width- and lengthwise, with a slight natural bias ease.
Drape: Soft, gentle and malleable drape quality, ideal for refined yet wearable silhouettes.
Garment Suggestions:
Types: Pink Parfait will make superb fancy tweed couture styles, edge-to-edge jackets and coats. A top French fashion house has made this particular style its trademark and its iconic styles have been worn since its first arrival in the '50s.
The use of fabric interlining will help stabilise this fabric. Alternative styles to create are loose silhouettes; ponchos, cape styles, wrap and blanket-style unlined coats and cardigans. Use the fringed selvedge as a detail on leading edges and cuffs. Add velvet trim to your edge-to-edge jackets for true designer style.
Patterns: We recommend fabrics such as the Ilford Jacket, the Phoebe Coat, The Blazer, The Coat and the Yanaka Jacket.
Other Uses:
Accessories: Create matching accessories, neck warmers, stoles and capelets or create the ultimate designer handbag.
Upcycling: Use every scrap and create gorgeous applique scenery or rag rugging.
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.
