Our Product Story
Velvet is a warp pile fabric with short, closely woven cut pile which gives the fabric a rich, soft texture. The pile of this fabric was originally made of silk but is now also made of cotton, man-made fibers and combinations of these fibers. It is produced in a wide range of constructions and types.
Rayon is one of the most peculiar fabrics in commercial use today. Strictly speaking, it is not an artificial fiber, because it is derived from naturally occurring cellulose. It is not, however, a natural fabric, because cellulose requires extensive processing to become rayon. Rayon is usually classified as a manufactured fiber and considered to be "regenerated cellulose".
One of the oldest textile fibers known to man, silk has been used by the Chinese since the 27th century BC. Silk, mentioned by Aristotle, became a valuable commodity in both Greece and Rome. In fact, during the Roman Empire, silk sold for its weight in gold. Today, silk remains another word for elegance, and silk garments are prized for their versatility, wearability and comfort.
