Jacquard is a type of woven fabric. The unique process of producing this type of fabric is to use a special tool to punch holes in a cardboard template after the threads are woven on a loom. This corresponds to the threads on the straps of the loom.

Jacquard fabric is designed using a perforated paper. It is part of the Jacquard loom, the second most important type of loom used in textile production. This perforated template is periodically fed into the machine and the weft threads are extracted.

The card reader inserts each thread into a different slot to reach its final position in the finished textile. Before the weft threads are punched according to the next pattern desired

The difference in style is due to the way it is made. It is not due to the addition of threads or yarns. Jacquard fabrics are very expensive and usually have geometric patterns. Therefore, they are often used to make elegant clothing such as dresses and blouses. Rather than mass-producing fabrics in stores,

since the 1980s, modern computer programming has gradually replaced Jacquard punch card programming, making design formats significantly more complex. Yet the textiles they create still bear the Jacquard name, paying homage to the incredible innovation he pioneered over two centuries ago.
