Velvet Fibre Types: Cotton, Polyester, Rayon & Silk

Cotton Velvet

Polyester Velvet
Polyester velvet fabrics offer excellent durability and colour stability, making them suitable for upholstery and higher-traffic environments such as hospitality interiors.
Rayon Velvet
Rayon velvet has a fluid drape and subtle sheen, making it popular for decorative upholstery, drapery, and fashion applications.
Silk Velvet
Silk velvet is prized for its exceptional softness and luminous finish, often used in fashion, luxury interiors, and speciality design projects.
Choosing the Right Velvet Fabric for Your Project
Velvet fabrics vary significantly in terms of fibre composition, weight, and pile construction. Understanding these factors can help ensure that the right fabric is selected for a particular application or design.
Durability
For upholstery projects, especially in commercial or hospitality settings, designers often select velvet fabrics from our collection with strong fibre blends and higher abrasion ratings.
Fabric Weight
Heavier velvet fabrics tend to perform best for furniture upholstery, while lighter velvet fabrics may be better suited to drapery, apparel, or decorative accents.
Velvet Pile
Velvet is a pile fabric, meaning the fibres stand upright on the surface. The pile direction and density influence how the fabric reflects light and how the colour appears from different angles.
