Velvet |
Velvet - True velvet is made of silk. Velvet is a tufted fabric with a soft texture. Some people are known to have a phobia about velvet. Looks great on a evening jacket as it reflects the light. Nothing has the colour density of velvet, the blues and blacks are as intense as any Anish Kapoor sculpture.
