Alendel Vogue Fabric

26 colourways of a substantial velvet, 54 in wide

Vogue is a velvet from Alendel, listed in 26 colourways, in 100% polyester, at 54 in wide. The colours run Butterscotch, Blackberry, Caramel, Chocolate, Feather, French, Indigo, Mimosa and 18 more, across the brown, purple, grey, blue, yellow and black families. All 26 flagged in stock by Alendel. It sits in Alendel's Vogue Book.

At 54 in it is cut up the roll like a conventional drapery cloth: a panel joins widths at the seam, which sits inside a pleat, and a Roman shade takes one width up to roughly 50 inches finished before it needs a joined width. Polyester holds its pleat and its size in humid air and after cleaning, and stands up to Florida sun better than cotton or linen does. It weighs 1.00 lb per yard by Alendel's listing, and a cloth of that weight is hung on a track or rod sized for it. Care is WA (washable). It passes NFPA 701 and CAN/ULC S109, the drapery flame tests asked for on commercial and condo common-area work in the US and Canada; it also carries CAL 117, NFPA 260 and UFAC Class 1, the upholstery flammability listings; and FMVSS 302, the automotive interior test. Every colourway is listed as Oeko-Tex. Country of origin, as Alendel lists it: India.
