In the 1940s, Swiss engineer, George de Mestral took his dog for a stroll in the woods. Little did he know the significance of this this stroll!
As the pair ventured through the forest, they collected unwanted hitchhikers – pesky burrs that clung to their clothes and fur.
Instead of being frustrated, George's curiosity was piqued. He placed a burr under a microscope and discovered something extraordinary – tiny hooks that helped the burrs latch to surfaces.
Inspired by Mother Nature's clever design, George had a brilliant idea.
Why not create a fastening system mimicking these natural hooks and loops?
George tested different materials until he found the perfect match – nylon!
It was strong, durable, and made the hooks and loops cling together like best buddies at a party!
In 1955, George patented his invention, giving it a fun name: Velcro!
The name was a combination of the French words "velours" (velvet) and "crochet" (hook)!
