Hook & Loop


It is not an exaggeration to say that the pet dog of the inventor-Swiss engineer George de Mestral, played an extremely important role in the process of inventing the hook and loop velcro. One day Mestral took his pet dog to hunt in the forest. When he returned, he found that there were many thorns on his dog’s body. Later, Mestral observed under the microscope and found that it was the small "barbs" on the thorns that made it stick firmly to the fabric and animal hair. This made him become inspired. After years of research on various fabrics, the velcro tape was born!
