Velvet is made by a weaving process on a special loom which generates twin layers of thicknesses of velvet at a single time. The end product is the result of a very intricate and tedious process. Earlier, Velvet was hand made and quite expensive- thus appealing mainly to royalty.Currently though, with the development of power looms, Velvet has become more affordable and people across various sections aspire to be seen in Velvet clothing. Besides the affordable pricing, nowadays Velvet is made from cotton, linen, mohair and wool along with silk . Lately, synthetic Velvets too are being produced.In the Indian context, Velvet is used in ensemble as velvet sarees and blouses, anarkali suits, kurtas, sherwanis and in ethnic footwear like jootis or mojris. The range that stands out from the rest is the Kuba Velvet. The uniqueness of this comes from the material used and the painstaking process involved. The production process and all its natural silk fibres are some of the reasons behind its higher price.Velvet is known for its smooth and warm texture. It is a luxury fabric that stands out from the rest. Not only is velvet soft and lightweight, but it has a rich colour and a great drape. With all its excellent qualities, there's no question why velvet is among the most sought-after fabrics.
