Cotton velvet is valued for its softness and depth of touch. Woven on looms that create two layers of fabric before being cut to form the pile, it retains a complexity that defines its character. Once reserved for the few, it is still a fabric of distinction admired in both modern and classic interiors.

Renowned for its elegance, cotton velvet possesses a fine pile that catches light in shifting tones, creating depth and a softly lived-in patina. Offered in over forty shades, the collection presents a considered spectrum, from muted neutrals to richer hues, allowing each interior to find its perfect resonance.
