About Velvet Oyster
- Fabric:
- Velvet
- Composition:
- 85% Cotton, 15% Polyester (100% Cotton Pile)
- Rub count:
- 40,000 rubs
Fabric properties:
Velvet is a staple fabric seen in many of our Houses across the world. Not only is it extremely tactile, but its deep pile enhances the depth of colour to add a rich, vibrant quality to your chosen design.
- 85% cotton velvet with a matte finish
- Our velvet has a short pile with dense fibres that capture the light differently depending on where it is placed
- A non-directional pile means the fabric can be rubbed or brushed either way without changing tone
- Naturally soft for a comfortable finish
- Durable 40,000 rub count* means this is a great fabric for slightly busier homes
*The Martindale rub count test determines how many times a material can be rubbed and/or touched before showing signs of wear and tear. The higher the count, the more durable the fabric.
