Jacquard fabric is known for its woven-in patterns — not printed, not embroidered, but created directly in the weave itself.
At HEM APPAREL, we suggest jacquard for brands wanting to add depth, texture, or luxury to a design — especially for outerwear, accessories, or bold statement pieces.
🧵 What Makes Jacquard Special?
-
Patterns are woven on a special loom (not surface-applied)
-
Designs include florals, geometrics, or custom motifs
-
Fabric surface is textured, often with slight 3D effect
-
Can be made from cotton, polyester, viscose, silk or blends
✅ Durable, upscale, and visually striking — even without prints
🧥 Why Brands Use It
-
Adds richness and craftsmanship to garments
-
Makes products feel higher-end
-
Pattern doesn't fade or peel off
-
Holds structure — great for jackets, skirts, and bags
At HEM APPAREL: Some clients use jacquard for signature patterns, tone-on-tone branding, or as panels mixed with solid fabrics.

🧪 Blends to Consider
-
Cotton jacquard → Soft with structure — ideal for shirts or bags
-
Poly jacquard → Durable, holds patterns well, more cost-efficient
-
Viscose or silk blend → Luxurious sheen and drape
-
Jacquard fleece → For bold outerwear and sweatshirts
⚠️ What to Keep in Mind
-
More expensive than plain weaves
-
Patterns may create fabric wastage (consider during cutting)
-
Some styles require lining due to texture on the reverse side
🧠 HEM APPAREL’s Tip:
Want to create signature looks without large prints?
Use tone-on-tone jacquard for understated branding — or mix it with solids for a standout piece. MOQ starts from 300 pcs/style, and we can custom-match GSM and pattern scale.
