the fabric guide
Learn about all our 200+ fabric options:
luxe textures, leather, family-friendly & more.
Leather
Timeless and full of character, natural leather comes in
a variety of finishes including hides that showcase
one-of-a-kind natural markings. Despite its rich
appearance, leather is a durable material with a beauty
that only gets better with time. Libby Leather shown
above in Chamois.
Look: Classic, richly colored and enhanced with
natural markings
Feel: Ranging from sleek and smooth to buttery soft
Bouclé
Named for the French word for “curl,” bouclé gets its
nubbiness from double-twisted yarns where one strand
creates loops. With its soft, fleecy feel, bouclé is
especially suited to accent chairs and curvy frames.
Cascade Fabric shown above in Natural.
Look: Highly textured with a fleecy appearance
Feel: Cozy soft with a nubby texture
Textured Weave
Available in a variety of yarns and weights, textured
fabrics enliven frames with visible texture. From chunky
tweeds to slubby weaves, these textiles showcase the
character of individual fibers as well as the weaving
technique. Vail fabric shown above in Snow.
Look: Dimensional and artisanal, often
with pleasing irregularity
Feel: Pleasantly irregular
Velvet
Luxe looking and soft, cotton or polyester velvet is
woven with a plush pile that’s clipped to give it a
downy nap. Rich in appearance, velvet is surprisingly
durable and a good choice for active households.

Look: Drapes beautifully with a lustrous glow
Feel: Irresistibly plush
Linen Weave
Comfortable, exceptionally durable and cool to the touch,
linen is a natural fiber derived from the flax
plant. Linen as well as linen-like fibers exhibit alluring
slubs for a textural hand that lends itself to slipcovers,
pillow-cushioned sofas and framed chairs. Winward
Fabric shown above in Snow.
Look: Sophisticated, casual and textural
Feel: Light and breezy with crisp to slubby texture
Chenille
Chenille uses twisted, looped and cut yarns to give it
a downy appearance and even, plush pile. A great
choice when softness and performance are desired,
chenille can be made from a variety of fibers. Monet
Fabric shown above in Seal.
Look: Drapes softly with subtle texture and iridescence
Feel: Downy soft with fuzzy texture
Microfiber
Easy to clean, durable and colorfast, microfiber fabrics
are great for active families. Fine synthetic threads
create a dense, tight weave that beads up liquids and
prevents allergens from permeating furniture. Douglas
Fabric shown above in Lace.
Look: Matte with excellent color retention
Feel: Soft with a suede-like hand
Twill
As familiar as a pair of jeans, twill is popular for its
hardworking durability and a high thread count that gives
it substance. Made from cotton, wool or polyester, twill
offers drape, opacity and versatility. Tribute Fabric shown
above in Gravel.
Look: Weighty drape with subtle variegated tones or intentional patterning such as herringbone
Feel: From silky to crisp with subtle texture depending on the fiber
