Classic Houndstooth Bolster Pillow

Houndstooth has a little more character than a smooth solid fabric. The open weave gives it a lightly textured feel that’s easy to notice when you run your hand across it—substantial without feeling rough. It has a dry, natural hand with a bit of visual depth from the woven pattern, creating a fabric that feels relaxed, lived-in, and comfortable. The texture adds warmth and interest without being heavy, making it an easy choice for everyday furniture that gets plenty of use.

The open weave that gives houndstooth its texture and character also makes it a bit more delicate than tightly woven upholstery fabrics. It holds up well to normal household use, but the raised weave can be more susceptible to snagging from pet claws, sharp objects, or heavy abrasion. If you share your furniture with active dogs or cats, or expect particularly heavy daily wear, a tighter weave may be a more durable choice. For design-conscious spaces with moderate use, houndstooth offers plenty of lasting style and charm.

To keep the texture and appearance of this fabric looking its best, we recommend dry cleaning only. The open weave can be sensitive to washing, which may affect the fabric's shape, texture, or overall finish. For everyday care, vacuum gently using an upholstery attachment to remove dust and debris, and blot spills promptly with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid machine washing, soaking, or harsh cleaning products, as they can damage the weave and shorten the life of the fabric.
