Be the Best Dressed in the Room

Velvet, due to its feather-soft texture and expensive quality, was previously spotted only by royalty. It was first offered to the nobility in Baghdad around 809 A.D. by Kashmiri merchants. During the Mamluk Sultanate era, Cairo became the largest manufacturer and exporter of the popular fabric and everyone, even the commoners, wanted to flaunt it as it was a symbol of pure beauty and undeniable prosperity. Velvet is made using a special process that involves a loom that produces dual layers of the fabric – in the olden days; it was handmade and could only be afforded by the elite.

There are many different kinds of velvet, including Devore velvet, velveteen, and crushed velvet and so on. The Kuba velvet is perhaps the best kind, and is made by people from the Kasai province of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Velvet sarees in India have always been a major hit with the masses and were worn by queens of yore. Embark on an exciting, new fashion journey with our collection of velvet sarees online now!
