Victoria is an organic cotton/bamboo viscose velvet. It has the same drape and luminosity as fine linen velvets. Victoria works beautifully with upholstery, window treatments, apparel and top of bed.
Eco Facts
Victoria is woven by a velvet mill in Great Britain. Although the production of velvet is complex, consisting of two warp yarns and a fill yarn, this mill agreed to experiment with bamboo viscose and organic cotton yarns, and after a few tries were able to produce this fine velvet. This experimentation took place in the last years of the twentieth century: Victoria was one of the first fabrics made with bamboo viscose. It is in the collection of the Cooper-Hewitt Museum in New York City. Viscose is an extremely important fiber for the world, but also
Fabric Name
Victoria is named after the capital city of British Columbia, Canada, one of the oldest cities in the Pacific Northwest. Due to its mild climate, Victoria and southeastern Vancouver Island are home to many rare native plants not found anywhere else.
Care
Victoria is washable, with the appearance altering to become fluffier and matte - rather than shiny. Remember to take it out of the drier quickly. If washed and dried using cool temperatures shrinkage is about 4% length and width. Do not use water/fabric softeners.
Uses
upholstery, window treatments, apparel and top of bed
Over the years, Patty and Leigh Anne dedicated tons of time researching ethical and sustainable production—how it’s done, and what the implications are to us (and to all living things) and to our planet. They even put it in their mission statement, a goal “to change the way textiles are being made” – kind of a reach for such an upstart little company, right?
