Velvet has long been considered a luxury fabric because it requires more thread to manufacture than other fabrics.Velvet and brocade have been produced for centuries, with early examples showing up in Egypt. Royalty and people of high class were usually the only consumers who could afford it, and velvet showed up on robes, on the dresses of upper class women, and in other luxury environments. The warm and heavy fabric was very popular in the winter, especially in Northern Europe. Traditionally, it is associated with nobility.velvet was popular during many centuries,and I’m starting to notice more and more for this upcoming season, it is making a strong comeback. The velvet revival comes in many forms and colors. but this year on the red carpet, has dominated the black. You may just be pleasantly surprisd .
