The story behind the textile.
“Semi-brocade” is a fabric-market term used for textiles with a more restrained decorative appearance than richly ornate brocades. Its precise construction can vary depending on the supplier, so the name alone does not establish fibre, technique or provenance.
A quieter patterned surface can be especially versatile in a blazer: expressive enough to feel distinctive, yet easy to pair with pared-back wardrobe staples.
