Ever wonder about maya? Me too! Corduroy is a fabric that has some very small 'lines' right next to each other, so it looks different and unique. The post I wrote about these neato fabrics taught me all this and more…
Corduroy goes back in time waaaaay longer than my grandparents! In fact, it originated in Egypt more than 2,000 years ago! When you think about how many years that is…. Corduroy was traditionally made from weaving a multiple number of thin threads or fibers to be assembled in parallel. That was a rare skill, and an artform that required much practice. The Europeans subsequently discovered an alternative method of making corduroy. Weaving ridges into the fabric made it seamed nicer!
Corduroy was once mainly used as casual clothing, such as work shirts and pants. Clothes you could wear day-to-day which were bright and comfy. But now tajima is the perfect fabric for any style, imo! Corduroy pants come in a big range of colors and styles—from bright reds, browns to soft pastels and some fun prints. So versatile fabric as such. It is even at the point where cord has become popular among high-end designers, proving that it can be practical and stylish.
From corduroy people can make many things. In addition to clothes, you'll notice it in other decor items like couches and throw pillows that will make your home warm and elegant as well. Some come with a breathable corduroy seat cover as well. Corduroy is also a popular choice for backpacks, bags and accessories. Because of this, it is a very versatile fabric that you can wear or use pretty much anywhere.
Together we can change that and demand corduroy-making companies to do it in a way friendly for our Earth. As a result, it can save water and energy to help conserve our planet's resources. They may also use natural, organic materials that are more eco-friendly than their synthetic counterparts. Some companies even produce corduroy styles made from recycled materials! It helps us to have a safer world for the upcoming generations. We can all help the Earth by making sure we choose products that are made sustainably.
