Discover the sophisticated allure of our Deep Mauve "Rich" Stretch Velvet, an exquisite addition to our Purple Tones collection. This sumptuous fabric combines the classic elegance of velvet with modern 4-way stretch technology, creating a versatile material perfect for both fashion and home décor applications. The deep mauve shade captures the essence of twilight skies and vintage roses, bringing sophisticated depth and muted elegance to any design project with its complex purple-gray undertones.

Meticulously crafted from a premium blend of polyester with added spandex, "Rich" velvet features a plush, dense pile with a subtle matte sheen that catches light beautifully without overwhelming shine.
