Velcro (Fabrics): Street Science

[Abishai100]

Velcro is a hook-and-loop fabric-based fastener invented in 1948 by the Swiss electrical engineer George de Mestrel.

Velcro has been streamlined and mass marketed since and has seen applications in shoes, jackets, stationery, and other articles.

Velcro's conveniences make it a modern age manufacturing symbol of 'texture materialism.'
