Velvet is a soft, sensual fabric with ancient history, some say more than 2000 years. Frequent use in royal and religious robes has contributed to its long-lasting popularity. Velvet's undeniable peak was during the Renaissance in Italian cities like Venice, Florence and Milan. The complicated production technique made it a luxury accessible only to the wealthiest.
