Jacquard Fabric – Leo in Black and Gold Limited Edition | Atelier 27

Designed by independent studio Atelier 27, this jacquard fabric features the Leo print in black, brown, and gold with metallic thread woven through the surface. The jacquard construction creates a textured, dimensional surface, and the fabric has a structured body with no elasticity, allowing it to hold shape cleanly — making it ideal for jackets, skirts, dresses, shorts, trousers, and accessories.

The hand is firm with a textured jacquard surface and subtle metallic detail. It maintains its structure without stiffness, providing stability for garments that require shape and definition. The woven construction supports durability in wear and precise handling during sewing.

This is a Limited Edition design — produced in a single small run in France and never reprinted once sold out. When this bolt is gone, it is gone for good.

Composition: 51% polyester, 31% recycled cotton, 13% recycled polyester, 3% metallic polyester, 2% other recycled fibres.

Best uses: Jackets, structured skirts, occasion dresses, shorts, and evening trousers.

Care: Machine wash cold, inside out, gentle cycle; do not dry clean or tumble dry.

Sold by the half yard.

🪡 Sewing Tips

Pre-wash before cutting. Use a universal needle (80/12–90/14) suitable for midweight woven fabrics and handle the fabric carefully while cutting to maintain accuracy. Test stitches on a scrap first — the metallic threads reward a slightly longer stitch.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I sew with this fabric?

Jackets, structured skirts, dresses, shorts, and evening trousers. The metallic jacquard holds shape beautifully — perfect for occasion wear.

How much fabric do I need for a dress or blouse?

Fabric is sold by the half yard, cut in one continuous piece. A fitted top typically takes 2–3 half-yard units, a blouse or shirt 3–4, and a midi dress 5–6 — order 4 units for 2 continuous yards.

Will it shrink?

Minimal, but the recycled-cotton content makes pre-washing before cutting a must. Wash cold, inside out.

Is it see-through?

No — at 200 g/m² it is opaque; unlined garments are fine.

What needle and thread should I use?

A universal needle (80/12–90/14) with all-purpose polyester thread; test on a scrap — the metallic threads reward a slightly longer stitch.

Is it really limited edition?

Yes — Atelier 27 prints each design in a single small run in France and never reprints it. When our bolt sells out, this print is gone for good. We stock it here in the US, so there are no import shipping, tariff, or customs processing fees.
