Chenille is not the same everywhere. When choosing, look at the abrasion resistance (Martindale), the weight per m², the structure, and the width. A higher Martindale value means a more wear-resistant fabric, and the weight gives an impression of the sturdiness. In this collection, you will find, among others, Chenille plain (solid, 410 g/m²), ribbed chenille, Fancy Chenille (Cremona, 465 g/m²), and bouclé chenille with a looped structure (480 g/m², Martindale above 80,000). The exact values can be found on each product page.

Are you doubting between chenille and another soft fabric? Velvet has a smoother, shinier pile, while bouclé offers more texture. Chenille falls somewhere in between: soft, full, and warm, with a subtle or playful surface, depending on the quality.

Choose based on usage, and you will quickly know which quality suits you:

• Sofa or corner sofa, daily use: choose a dense, heavy quality such as Fancy Chenille or bouclé chenille with a high Martindale rating.
• Dining chairs and ottomans: plain or ribbed chenille has a calm appearance and fits many styles.
• Cushions and poufs: bouclé chenille, for example in the Urban, Wave, or Nectar patterns, adds extra texture.
• Family with children and pets: choose a dense, coarsely woven quality such as MIXY. With loop-like structures, claws can get caught more easily.
• Hospitality and projects: look for the highest Martindale rating, such as with the Dubai collection (Martindale 100,000).

When measuring and cutting, lay all pieces in the same direction to ensure uniform sheen and color. Order all meters at once: a reorder may result in a slight color difference. You can find more help with calculating the amount you need in our blog on how much fabric you require.
