Mohair Velvet & Silk Velvet Upholstery Fabric
Mohair Velvet Upholstery Fabrics and other designer upholstery Velvets are our specialities; we are inspired and excited by exquisite velvets made from high-quality yarns such as silk, mohair, cashmere, linen and cotton.
For our contract clients, we have a significant number of contract velvet collections, ranging from the most durable Mohair Upholstery Velvet to FR Treveria Contract Velvets. Contract velvet fabrics from KOTHEA offer the very best Wyzenbeek / Martindale test values for upholstery where rubs exceed 100,000. We have ‘shiny’ and non-‘shiny’ velvets; long- and short-pile velvets; dense and less-dense velvet weaves.
Our Upholstery Mohair Velvet is very much on-trend for 2025, perhaps because of the high-quality and 100% natural yarn we use or perhaps it’s the durability of contract-grade options with 100,000 rub counts. An extensive colour palette, often with your precise colour requirement, is available across a series of collections.
As all our velvets are woven in Europe, you know the quality will be the best – with our high-profile customers ranging from royalty to a home cinema in a local new build.
Some tips for narrowing down your velvet choice
- “Velvet” refers to the type of weave. A velvet fabric can be made from an extensive range of fibres; mohair wool is just one of those fibres.
- Mohair fibre comes from the underbelly of a specific goat variety
- Mohair Velvet is one of the most popular options as it is typically very durable and has an inherent Crib 5 pass. So, there are no further costs associated with FR treatment.
- Silk Velvet can look fantastic but is typically only for domestic use
- Cotton velvet can be a good alternative to Mohair Velvet and is often around half the price whilst still representing a 100% natural product. Our cotton velvet is sufficiently durable for many contract applications and certainly for domestic uses; however, it requires Crib 5 treatment.
- More interesting and unusual weaves are available in linen, man-made yarns, and our super-luxury Italian Cashmere & Silk Velvet, available only to our current clients.
