This bag’s fabric is known as a Jacquard pattern fabric. Jacquard weaving is a traditional skill originating in Lyon and has been passed down to us from generation to generation for several centuries. Today, La Fabrique d’écharpe’s Jacquard looms are true technological gems, combining speed and quality performance all while respecting the rules of Jacquard weaving. Jacquard weaving began with Joseph-Marie Jacquard, who, in 1801 invented and patented the so-called “Jacquard” technique which automated the production of the pattern by using punched cards. And so the ancestor of the computer was born!
