Velvet is an exquisite fabric with a phenomenal level of craftsmanship that has been adored by many for centuries. To maintain its lustrous beauty over time, it is important to follow special care instructions when cleaning. We recommend professional dry cleaning to help preserve the quality of the fabric, however, some occasions may call for spot treatment or hand washing. In addition to proper cleaning methods, always keep your furniture away from direct sunlight and heat sources as it could cause fading in colour.

Durability

On top of its superior aesthetics, velvet has valuable qualities such as ultra-softness and lasting comfort that make this fabric a highly desirable choice. Its texture is at once luxurious and lightweight, making velvet well-suited to a wide range of uses in both fashion and interior design. With its superior performance when used for craftsmanship and its numerous benefits, it’s no surprise that so many prefer the sophistication offered by this material. Velvet can be beautifully buttoned and is often chosen for its refined, decorative appeal; however, as it does not have the same elasticity as leather, the pleats may gently open with use and therefore benefit from a little extra care. For clients seeking maximum day-to-day practicality, cushion seating offers a more resilient alternative.

Different types of velvet

There are many varieties of velvet, including cotton velvet, mohair velvet, crushed velvet, and more. Each type has its own characteristics that make it suitable for a variety of applications. Cotton velvet is particularly admired for its delicate texture and lightweight composition. Mohair velvet is characterized by a natural elasticity, that gives it strength and durability.
