Fibre
Viscose is a cellulosic man-made fibre created from natural wood pulp. The wood pulp is purified and transformed into cellulose which then is extruded into yarn. Viscose has similar properties to cotton and silk combined. Our viscose is sourced in China.
Silk is a filament fibre which means the fibre length is very long. This is why silk is both softer and stronger than all other natural fibres. Our premium-quality silk is sourced and spun in China.
Fabric
Velvet is a luxurious pile fabric with a distinctive look and feel. Velvet is made on a special machine which weaves fabric with a pile on top. The finely woven silk mesh is the body of the fabric and holds the lustrous viscose pile in place. The fabric is piece dyed which means dyed after weaving or knitting the fabric, this creates a solid colouring throughout the fabric.
