VELVET FABRIC

VLEVET FABRIC is a luxurious cut-pile fabric renowned for its distinctive upright pile surface and silky luster, classified as a high-end textile.

 Key features: Pile construction - Characterized by evenly distributed vertical fibers (0.3-2mm height) Optical property - Exhibits two-tone color effects from different light reflections Tactile quality - Signature smooth hand feel (friction coefficient 0.3-0.5, comparable to silk) This premium fabric has maintained its status as a symbol of opulence since its Renaissance origins, now incorporating modern technological advancements while preserving its traditional elegance. The manufacturing process requires precision cutting of woven loops to create the uniform pile surface, with contemporary variants including: Digital laser-cut velvet (0.01mm precision) Sustainable alternatives (recycled polyester/organic cotton blends) Functional versions (conductive/thermoregulating properties)
