Bridal & Heritage

The velvet of great ceremonies.

Weddings, festivities and processions: garments that are handed down need a velvet with depth of colour, a good base for embroidery and a drape that lasts generations.

The fit

A noble base for embroidery.

The short, dense pile of the 3000 holds gold-thread embroidery, passementerie and appliqué without losing its flatness. Cotton takes dye in depth: burgundies, plums and jewel greens look rich in ceremonial light.

The same card and the same stock, supplied from Spain to traditional and bridal ateliers around the world.

Typical uses

  • Lehenga and sherwani

Why Velvetes

  1. 01

    Deep colour

    Reds, plums and jewel greens with the intensity a ceremony demands.

  2. 02

    A base for embroidery

    Short, dense pile that holds gold thread without distorting.

  3. 03

    Stock for the season

    Weddings, Holy Week or festivals: the colour is in stock when the peak arrives.

An atlas of ceremony

The same velvet, every tradition.

Velvet dresses ceremonies across half the world: weddings in India and Pakistan, Tracht in Bavaria and Tyrol, Holy Week in Spain, kaftans in the Maghreb, bindallı in Turkey. The shapes change; the demand for colour, depth and drape stays the same.

Pieces photographed for the country editions of our 3000 catalogue.
