RawVelvet & Pile · Short pile, deep colour
BSY Velvet
Also written as BST Velvet
A short-pile stretch velvet on a BSY base that drinks colour and reads expensive under light.

The other side
BSY Velvet, dyed
Pile depth is what makes velvet dye so well: the same shade reads two ways as the nap turns, which is the whole point of the cloth.

Feel it before you commit.
We can send a swatch of BSY Velvet — in both raw and dyed states — so you can judge weight, hand and drape yourself.
