Cotton Velvet

Cotton Velvet

Our 100% cotton velvets are produced in Europe and have been among the best and most beautiful of their kind for 150 years. They have achieved world fame as "brilliant velvet with a gold edge" and are still produced in this tradition and quality.

Velvet has been around since the 14th century, when it was mainly woven from silk for the upper classes of the nobility and clergy. Today it is celebrating a magnificent fashion comeback with its aura of elegant and timeless beauty.

Its shimmering play of colours and timeless elegance enhances any type of clothing, be it festive, historical or casual.

It is suitable for gowns, costumes and evening dresses, for splendid capes and coats as well as for jackets, waistcoats, accessories and dresses suitable for everyday wear, which can be both casual-modern and elegant or historic.

As cushions or curtains, they can not only lend royal dignity and elegance to a stylish ambience, but also create warmth and cosiness in modern rooms and enchant with their unique play of colours.

Despite the "standing pile", the fabrics have a line that can be easily determined by running your hand over it. Velvets are usually processed against the grain, as this creates the wonderful depth of colour that is typical of these fabrics. They have more lustre when they are sewn with the grain facing downwards.
