What is Applique?

Applique refers to a needlework technique in which one layer of fabric is played over another layer of fabric and sewn in place. The term is French in origin and, in this context, means "applied" or "thing that has been applied." Typically, different fabrics are selected for the applique to add texture, contrast and style.

We're excited to announce a new addition to SFERRA's, Orlo. Below is an image of the new line which shows an applique of Camel sateen on an ivory percale base:

Orlo will be available in Camel on Ivory, Sea Mist on Ivory, Charcoal on White, Chocolate on White, Grey on White, Ivory on White, and Navy on White. The base fabric used is the Grande Hotel percale from Italy.
