Osborne & Little | Flapper

Flapper is a velvet louvred in horizontal bands, the pile stepped like the bodice of a flapper's dress, so the surface carries a strict, glamorous rhythm that reads as texture across a room and as tailoring up close.

It is woven in Italy from cotton, viscose and polyester, 43, 42 and 15 per cent, on a 144cm width at around 85gsm. An exceptional Martindale result of 100,000 rubs puts it in the hardest-working class of upholstery, dining chairs, sofas and benches in constant use, with cushions and curtains equally within its range.
