Wat is een coupon?
January
On our website stofvoordesign.nl, the word 'coupon' is used frequently, but what does it actually mean?
The word “coupon” originally comes from the period when bonds had paper strips, or “interest coupons”, which could be cut off upon payment of interest.
Nowadays, it can have multiple meanings depending on the context: it can refer to a voucher for a product or service, a financial instrument such as an interest coupon on a bond, a piece of fabric, or a travel or train ticket.
In the context of furniture fabrics, the word 'coupon' means the following:
A coupon is a remnant, a leftover, or a piece of fabric, sold in its entirety at a reduced rate. This fabric is the leftover from a large roll of upholstery fabric that the upholsterer considers surplus after use. However, this fabric is brand new, never used, and therefore a terrible waste to let it go to landfill.
The dimensions of the fabric remnants from Stofvoordesign.nl vary, both in the length and width of the fabrics. The remnants are sold either as a full remnant or by the linear metre. This is clearly indicated on the website and differs per fabric.
The dimensions of the fabrics range from 50 cm in length to as much as 40 linear metres.
