KM’s fabrics are true woven velvets. This is important to note, as people often use the words “velvet” and “velour” interchangeably and they’re different fabrics.   Velvet is woven, for a softer hand, more luster and better drape. Velour is knit, with a shorter pile or brushed surface, so it’s soft, but it doesn’t feel as soft or full as velvet. And it won’t have the sheen of velvets woven with bright fibers.   We weave our velvets with the finest quality natural and synthetic yarns. The weaving process is more complex, to create two pieces of fabric simultaneously.
