🌟 Chenille Jacquard: Tactile Luxury & Patterned Depth
Chenille jacquard combines two premium weaving techniques into a fabric that’s both textured and patterned. The chenille yarn creates a soft, caterpillar-like pile while the jacquard loom weaves intricate retro French patterns directly into the fabric. The result is a luxurious textile that’s richly detailed, durable, and visually stunning—ideal for “light‑luxury” interiors seeking tactile depth and warmth.
Use in minimalist or contemporary settings to add a layer of vintage-inspired texture; the plush feel offers comfort while the ornate design elevates aesthetic appeal.
🪞 Retro French Patterns: Nostalgia Meets Modern Clean Lines
In 2025, interior trends show a resurgence of classical textiles—like brocades and jacquards—used as accents in sleek, modern spaces. These curtains draw on vintage motifs found in French countryside villas and Parisian salons, now refreshed in subdued tones.
You’ll enjoy the feeling of luxury and layered authenticity without overwhelming minimalism. Neutral tones and retro motifs pair beautifully with modern woods, metals, and minimalist furnishings.
⚫ Thickened Blackout Benefits: Cozy, Private & Energy Efficient
Dense chenille jacquard naturally supports strong light-blocking and insulating capabilities:
- Blocks sunlight up to 95% when blackout-lined—perfect for bedrooms or media rooms.
- Provides thermal insulation: thick fabric retains heat in winter and reflects heat in summer, helping upper windows become 25–30% more energy-efficient.
- Reduces noise: the pile fabric dampens echoes and muffles street sound, making it ideal for busy homes.
This combination ensures comfort and cost savings year-round.
🧵 Customized to Your Space: Fullness, Fit & Roll
Enjoy full personalization:
- Widths: 2× window width or more for luxurious draping

Custom-fit ensures ideal light-blocking, style framing, and a polished finish—especially key for bay windows or unique shapes.
🧼 Care & Maintenance: Keep Them Beautiful for Years
- Vacuum regularly with a soft brush to lift dust from the chenille pile.
- Clean carefully: either dry-clean or gentle machine wash cold (check tag). Use low tumble dry or line dry to protect texture.
- Steam for smoothing: use a handheld steamer to relax creases—the jacquard pattern stays crisp, while the pile stays puffed.
- Rotate panels every few months to avoid directional piling and evenly distribute sun exposure.
