Who doesn't adore velvet? It's plush, elegant, and effortlessly boho-chic. Here at Jungalow, we're obsessed with this sumptuous fabric. No longer confined to vintage 1960s finds, velvet is experiencing a glorious revival—and it's easy to understand why. Its rich, dense pile creates an opulent texture that instantly elevates any interior. The short, tightly woven fibers produce those deep, over-dyed jewel tones—think saffron, emerald, or ruby—that truly pop on velvet furnishings.

Historically, velvet was crafted exclusively from silk, making it an expensive luxury. Nowadays, it's made from accessible materials like cotton, allowing you to enjoy that lavish feel without a hefty price tag. And it's surprisingly sturdy, too!
Velvet works beautifully in countless applications: toss pillows, upholstered sofas, wall coverings, or flowing drapes. It develops a lovely patina over time, infusing a room with warmth and personality.
