Velcro was invented in 1948 by George de Mestral (1907-1990), a Swiss engineer.
The inspiration for Velcro came about when Swiss engineer George deMestral took a closer look at burs that stick so well to things, like dog fur and your pair of socks. He recreated what he discovered into a new type of fastener.
Velcro is a brand name for a type of fastening system invented by Swiss engineer George de Mestral in the 1940s. He was inspired by the way burrs stuck to his dog's fur during a walk in the woods. The name "Velcro" combines the French words "velours" (velvet) and "crochet" (hook). The product consists of two strips: one with tiny hooks and the other with loops, which adhere when pressed together.
The invention of Velcro was inspired by the way burrs cling to animal fur. Swiss engineer Georges de Mestral noticed that after a walk in the woods, burrs stuck to his dog’s fur and his own clothing. This observation led him to study the burrs under a microscope, revealing their hook-like structures, which he then replicated to create the hook-and-loop fastening system we know as Velcro.
It was invented in 1948 by the Swiss electrical engineer George de Mestral.

Before Velcro, buttons, zippers, laces, or snap fasteners were commonly used to fasten clothing and accessories. Velcro was invented in 1941 by Swiss engineer George de Mestral as a new method of fastening materials together.
Velcro was created by Swiss engineer Georges de Mestral in 1948 after observing burrs stuck to his clothes and his dog's fur during a hunting trip. He noticed the burrs had tiny hooks that caught onto loops in the fabric. Inspired by this natural mechanism, he developed the hook-and-loop fastening system that we now know as Velcro.
The year when he invented Velcro was in 1948 in the country of Mexico.
