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.
