Velvet has always been considered an extremely luxurious fabric, reserved for the wealthy. The existence of velvet dates back thousands of years. In many cultures, it was a fabric symbolizing prestige, elegance, power as well as wealth. With the help of new methods developed, this fabric has democratized in order to make itself more accessible. As a result, it has become essential, both in ready-to-wear and in decoration and each year returns to the top of the list of trends.

This moire finish is due to a manufacturing process that twists the fabric and applies strong pressure to flatten its pile. The pieces are all made of crumpled velor which happens to be a type of perforated pile whose pile has been flattened in the same direction. This pile is elastic, either because they contain elastane, or because their base is knitted and not woven.
