Bouclé – pronounced ‘Boo-clay’ comes from the French word bouclé, meaning “to curl.” With its extremely nubby, looped yarn, this fabric can be used in many applications and although traditionally woven from wool or mohair, it is now produced in cotton, linen and even silk yarns.
Bouclé refers to both the yarn and the fabric made from the yarn. Known for its interesting visual texture and super-soft touch, there is no doubt that this interior textile is in high demand for residential and commercial schemes.
THE BOUCLÉ RESURGENCE: This hardy fabric is most often seen in white or cream and provides a modernity to any space. The soft handle makes it ideal for curved furniture and it is loved by mid-century enthusiasts, while it’s plushness is equally relished by cushion addicts. The current resurgence of bouclé proves the market just loves a super tactical fabric.
Bouclé also speaks to our current megatrends of nostalgia and escapsim which are a natural evolution of the earlier trends of calm sanctuary and maximalism.
The Key Points:
• Highly tactile and dimensional fabrics such as bouclé are extremely popular and are very forgiving once upholstered as their height hides stitching details or visibility of what lies beneath.
• The bouclé structure suits volumetric, round furniture and is in line with the trend of visual optimism, whilst also having a more feminine design aesthetic.
• Bouclé speaks to the enduring affinity for 1970s interiors, and suits both maximalist and minimalist inclinations.
Grand Bouclé: Grande Bouclé by Catherine Martin by Mokum is a weighty and dimensional bouclé upholstery, influenced by our nostalgia for the 1970s. Woven in Italy in a mix of natural and synthetic fibres, Grande Bouclé has a soft, luxurious handle and tailored finish. The light acyclic backing adds further weight and prevents movement on loose cushions. Grande Bouclé has been coloured in three perfect neutrals and is part of our forthcoming Catherine Martin for Mokum collection, inspired by her current film project.
STAUNCH: Staunch extends the colour palette of James Dunlop’s Atmosphere, from the Fusion collection. This yarn dyed bouclé offers soft tactility and dimension to both lineal and curved furniture...

I have had a lot of changes happening in my life recently and it has understandably left me feeling a bit nervous and shy. I can get quite nervous in new situations and when meeting new people, but once I am given time to settle in, and you earn my trust, I know I will settle right into the family. Due to my shyness, I will be best in an adult only home where it is quiet, as loud and sudden noises and movements can sometimes worry me. I would also enjoy going home where one of my humans has had experience with shy and timid cats before. I would also enjoy if my humans were around for some or most parts of the day, so that we can keep each other company. ?
