Bowie

Crocus

Bowie is a sophisticated twist on the traditional boucle, woven in New Zealand Jardan has paired thoughtful subtle colour combinations in a rich woollen composition to create a fabric with rich texture and depth of colour. The yarns used in Bowie are crafted from Australian and New Zealand wool combined with a small amount of Nylon to strengthen the yarn core in order to create a durable and resilient fabrication. Bowie has been created with the upmost care for our environment in mind by using natural fibres and metal free dyes in the exhaust dye method, reducing harmful waste. This composition gives the fabric a natural flame retardancy and resistance to moisture, soiling and compression, paired with the natural breathability of wool makes for comfort in all seasons. Bowie offers a contemporary on trend colour palette to compliment all interiors and looks exquisite on the organic and curvilinear shapes that are synonymous with Jardan Furniture.


Composition: 91% wool, 9% nylon

Width: 137cm

GSM: 850

Pilling: 4-5

Seam Slippage: Pass

Martindale: 159,000

Light Fastness: 5


Styling Notes

- Upholsters beautifully working particularly well on curves as has natural elasticity and can hold shape well. 

- Minimal surface fuzz may appear like any wool, however due to the fibres construction these are likely to reseed back into the fabric with time. 

- The colourations have enough tonal variation to make Bowie it forgiving to light soiling.

- Well suited to armchairs, sofas, ottomans and beds. Not ideal for dining chairs, due to texture.

- Approved for commercial use.

- Boucle yarn by nature will could caught in clawed rings or pulled by pet claws.


Care

Dry Clean Only

To protect your upholstered furniture and keep it looking fresh, follow these care tips:

Avoid Direct or Reflected Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause fading and deterioration. Keep your furniture away from windows, or use blinds/curtains to block harsh rays.

Regular Vacuuming: Use a vacuum with a non-rotating upholstery head to gently remove dust and dirt. If not removed regularly, dust and dirt can accumulate on the fabric. Over time, these particles can react with UV light, leading to fabric bleaching and causing the fabric to fade. To prevent this, it's essential to vacuum your furniture regularly and ensure any dirt or dust is promptly removed. Frequent vacuuming will also help remove loose fibres and foreign particles, which can reduce pilling (those little fuzzy balls that form on the surface).

Maintain Fabric Loft: For boucle and pile fabrics, regular vacuuming is essential to maintain the loft and prevent matting or flattening.

Rotate Cushions: If possible, rotate your cushions to ensure even wear. This will prevent certain areas from wearing out faster than others, keeping your furniture looking balanced.

Spill Management: Clean spills immediately by blotting (not rubbing) with a damp cloth. Avoid scrubbing, as it can damage the fabric. For tough stains, it’s best to consult a professional cleaning service to ensure safe and effective stain removal

Pilling: Pilling can occur as a result of normal daily wear and should not be considered a defect. Fibre pills form when loose fibres on the surface of the fabric become tangled. These pills can easily be removed using a battery-operated pilling tool, which is available at most haberdashery or fabric stores. Regular care can help minimize pilling and maintain appearance

Dye Transfer: Dye transfer is another consideration for fabric care. This occurs when dye from an external source, such as unwashed new dark-coloured denim or raw indigo garments, is transferred onto upholstery fabric. To avoid dye transfer, ensure any new dark fabrics are washed before coming into contact with your furniture.

Fabric Protection: To prolong the life of your fabric, we highly recommend having it protected by Premium Surface Protection (PSP). Please be aware that fabric protection methods can vary significantly in both their effectiveness and environmental impact. PSP is the only method endorsed by Jardan. Using an alternative fabric protection method may void your fabric warranty.  For more information or to obtain a quote, please use the following link to contact PSP directly: https://premiumsurfaceprotection.com.au/jardan/

By following these tips, you can prolong the life and appearance of your furniture.


Please Note

Whilst every effort has been made to ensure the colours depicted on our website of materials and products accurately reflect the way they appear in person, Jardan advises that there may be variation between these due to a combination of factors including computer monitor, screen settings and lighting as well as a level of true variation in the products themselves. We work with many natural materials as well as handmade artisan products where a level of variation is to be expected and celebrated. It is therefore recommended that you view products in person prior to ordering where possible, or request swatches and additional information from our sales teams.
