This luxurious velvet fabric blends a plush 82 % viscose rayon pile with an 18 % silk backing to create a rich, tactile surface that drapes elegantly. At 140 cm wide and a substantial 40 mm weight (approx. 180 gsm), this natural white velvet is ideal for high-impact fashion, accessories, or surface-design textile work. The undyed white base provides a perfect blank canvas for dyeing, eco-printing, devoré (burnout) techniques or other creative treatments, allowing makers to explore depth, texture and colour in one premium fabric. The combination of rayon and silk gives the velvet softness, sheen and absorbency paired with subtle structure and strength.
