● Crushed velvet / panne velvet effect.

Korean velvet is commonly referred to as crushed velvet . The "crush" effect comes from forcing the pile in one direction by applying heavy pressure . This creates a unique, lustrous surface that catches the light differently depending on the angle. Sometimes it's called panne velvet – a type of crushed velvet with the pile flattened in a single direction . The result is a fabric that looks luxurious and high-end, with a subtle shimmer that moves as the fabric moves.

● The stretch factor.

This fabric contains 4-5% Lycra spandex . The spandex gives it gentle 4-way stretch and excellent recovery – it stretches when you move and bounces back to shape when you let go . This makes it significantly more comfortable than traditional velvet for clothing, and easier to fit over curved furniture frames for upholstery.

● Warp-knitted construction.

The fabric is warp-knitted on tricot machines . Warp knitting interlocks yarns vertically, creating a fabric that is dimensionally stable – it does not stretch out of shape easily and resists snagging . The pile is firmly tied into the ground structure, which gives it good tear resistance and prevents shedding.

● Optional functions.

This fabric can be produced with various functional treatments: anti-pilling (we already achieve 4.5/5 rating), wicking/dry fit, UV protection, waterproof, anti-bacterial, and chlorine-resistant finishes are all available . High colourfastness is also standard – we test dark colours at 2.5-3 grade and light colours at 3-3.5 grade on the ISO scale.
