It's in Dutch, but Google Translate will help. Good luck and happy holidays!
 When we think of summer fabrics, light, airy, and breathable materials often come to mind. Among these, cotton-blend Bouclé stands out as a luxurious yet comfortable choice that has garnered admiration for its unique texture and sophisticated appearance. This fabric's intricate weave and tactile charm make it a favorite for fashion enthusiasts, even during the warmer months.
Why is cotton-blend Bouclé such a delightful summer fabric and why is it historical significance, particularly in the hands of the iconic Coco Chanel? You will read it in this blog:  Vogue V8991 is a Claire Shaeffer designed pattern, published by Vogue. We know Claire Shaeffer from the books: The Couture Cardigan Jacket, Making Designers Trims and The Couture Skirt. In her books she describes how Coco Chanel designed her famous Chanel jacket, the faux-wrap skirt and other classics.
