Originated in 18th-century France to mimic hand-stitched Marseilles quilts, Matelassé (derived from the French word for "quilted") is a master weaving technique executed on electronic jacquard looms. It creates a rich, padded 3D embossed relief directly on the loom using high-tension warp yarns—without requiring a single stitch of sewing or synthetic batting.
