LOS ANGELES, California — The ladies on the cover of F&FI say they would rather wear nothing if they can’t wear Brooks Fabrics’ Sonoma suede velvet.

Sonoma is a best seller for Brooks according to company owner and CEO Joseph Moran. The fabric is stocked in his California warehouse. 

Sonoma is 85 % Polyester, 12% Nylon and 3% Spandex, Moran says. It is “especially stain resistant and easy to clean, having a machine washing resistance up to 160 degrees F. Sonoma has gone through four different processes to keep the consistency and uniformity of the fabric, appearing neat and spotless,” he says. Joseph Moran

“In the interior design world, suede has had an increasing popularity since last year, due to its texture and warmth. “Sonoma is currently our best-selling fabric with the most diverse uses,” Moran adds.   “Due to its popularity, we have been adding new colors periodically. Sonoma is already presented in 33 vibrant saturated colors, focusing on dark and bright schemes, but we also offer several shades of beige. 

“The fabric meets the flammability criteria of the UFAC, NFPA 260, CAL 117 N and NFPA 701. This makes it suitable for an infinite range of uses in upholstery, drapery and home decor.
