What is "velvet"?

Velvet is a luxurious fabric characterized by its soft and plush texture. It is typically made from silk, cotton, or synthetic fibers and is woven using a specialized technique that creates a dense pile on one side of the fabric. The pile gives velvet its signature softness and sheen, as it reflects light in a way that makes it appear to change color depending on the angle of the light. Velvet is often used for formal clothing such as evening gowns, suits, and jackets and for home decor items like curtains and upholstery. It is available in various colors and patterns and is often associated with elegance and sophistication.
