About velvet fabric
Velvet is a woven or knitted fabric with a short, dense pile that gives it a soft hand and deep colour. This range includes viscose velvet, velour velvet lycra, printed, tie-dye and burnout velvet. The pile catches light differently from different angles.
How to choose
Decide between stretch and non-stretch velvet and check the pile length. A shorter pile suits fitted garments, while a heavier pile is better for jackets and furnishings.
Range, uses and pricing
The range has 60+ designs. Common uses are lehengas, blouses, jackets, gowns, winter kurtas and upholstery accents. White dyeable velvet is available for custom shades. Fabrics are sold by the metre, and most are 150 cm wide.
Care and sewing tips
Velvet should be steamed rather than pressed, and the pile should never be ironed flat. Dry-cleaning is the safest option for most velvets. Cut all pieces in the same pile direction.
