Velour, known for its soft and velvety surface, differs from velvet in that it is woven rather than knitted, giving it more elasticity. Its production mirrors terry cloth, with loops cut into a pile.
Velour can be made from different materials such as cotton and polyester and blends of various fibres. We use it for clothing, furniture, home decoration and accessories. Because it is soft and comfortable, velour is popular for products such as sofas, cushions, dresses, trousers, children’s clothing and drapes.
Velour’s ability to reflect light lends it a shiny and luxurious feel, earning it recognition for creating clothes and products with an elegant and stylish aesthetic.
