Panne Velvet Fabric Purple

Panne Velvet Fabric Purple

This purple panne velvet shows exactly what this fabric is known for: a deep, rich colour that shifts the moment light hits the pile differently. In the photo you can see how the fabric looks darker in the folds, while the smoothed-out areas gleam lighter and silky. The short, dense pile feels soft and supple to the touch, with a fluid drape you rarely find in other fabrics. A real showstopper for anyone after a luxurious look with a touch of drama.

What is panne velvet

Panne velvet, also known as velours de panne, is a knitted velvet with a characteristic flattened pile. This pressing process gives the fabric its signature high shine and colour shift that changes depending on the light, as you can clearly see in the folds in the photo. The fabric is opaque, drapes fluidly, and has stretch across the width, making it pleasant to work with. Thanks to the crushed finish, each piece looks slightly different, giving the fabric a lively and organic character. It's a fabric that offers plenty of possibilities both on the sewing machine and in styling.
