GBSB Ep9 Inspiration: We Love Wardrobe Heroes
From biker jackets and reinvented shirts to the Little Black Dress, discover the fabrics we love from epidose 9 - Wardrobe Heroes Week on The Great British Sewing Bee.
Sleek on one side, ridiculously soft on the other, this black faux leather gives you two very different textures in one seriously useful fabric. The face has a smooth, finely grained leather-look finish with a soft sheen rather than a high gloss, while the reverse is backed with dense, velvety black fur that feels beautifully warm against the skin. Made from a polyester and polyurethane blend with elastane, it is supple and flexible rather than stiff, with enough body to hold a good garment shape.
The cosy backing makes this particularly tempting for jackets, coats, gilets and sleeveless biker-style pieces, where you can make a feature of the furry reverse at collars, lapels or turned-back edges. It would also work brilliantly for skirts, trousers and accessories when you want the attitude of black leather without sacrificing comfort. At 300gsm, it feels substantial but still drapes and folds beautifully. Leather look on the outside, teddy-bear tendencies underneath. Best of both worlds, really.
