The first recorded mention of velvet fabric is

from the 14th century, and scholars of the past mostly believed that this textile was originally produced in East Asia before

making its way down the Silk Road into Europe. Traditional forms of velvet were made with pure silk, which made them

incredibly popular. Asian silk was already very soft, but the unique production processes used to make velvet result in a

material that’s even more sumptuous and luxurious than other silk products.
