Quilted fabric traces back to medieval times. The extra padding was used as armors for soldiers. Quilted leather open jackets and trousers were worn by Scythian horsemen before the 4th century BC. Since fashion embraces history, quilted leather has turned out to be a quite a hit. Made popular by Chanel, this trend has spread from handbags, to shoes to clothing. I found these cute faux leather quilted accessories and could not resist taking them with me on my trip to Canada.
