Collection: Luonto Velvet Fabrics

Velvet is defined by its texture and construction rather than the specific material it’s made from. Here's what makes something "velvet":

Pile Fabric: Velvet is a type of woven fabric with a short, dense pile (raised surface). This pile is created by cutting the loops of thread on the fabric's surface during the weaving process, giving velvet its signature softness and texture. Soft, Smooth Finish: The cut pile results in a soft, smooth feel that’s often described as luxurious. This finish gives velvet its characteristic sheen, as the short fibers catch and reflect light. Weaving Process: Velvet is typically woven on a special loom that weaves two thicknesses of fabric at the same time. The two layers are then cut apart to create two separate pieces of velvet.
