Velvet

Velvet is woven on a special loom having two faces of the fabric together which are then split in half to create the soft pile we feel on the fabric. Our Velvet has been woven specifically for digital printing and as such has a beautiful dense pile and finish when printed. This distinctive fabric is ever-changing, the look, colour and texture of velvet will change depending on the direction the fabric is brushed, the lighting in a room, and the wear-and-tear it has undertaken.

Each roll of fabric can have subtle variation in appearance and print translation.

You want to ensure Velvet is cared for and the pile is protected. You can do this by using your hand to brush the pile if creases are developing and gently vacuum if dust is forming in the pile. You should spot clean by dabbing to remove marks and avoid rubbing. Use light steam to pop out creases, never iron Velvet because you will flatten the pile. Our Velvet is made from high quality polyester to provide the most durable and luxurious fabric. Our Velvet can be delicate machine or hand washed, dry flay and you can dry clean.

Our care instructions are a general recommendation, depending on your print and product you may need to carry out your own testing.

can shrink up to 3% on the warp and weft of the fabric.

Velvet is woven in China and printed in Australia.
