crushed velvet

Irregularly flattened pile

Crushed velvet is a type of velvet fabric with an irregular, textured surface created by pressing or twisting the pile in different directions.

The treatment gives the fabric a shimmering, multidimensional appearance as light catches the fibers at varying angles.

Associated with bohemian fashion, vintage aesthetics, and theatrical glamour: a crushed velvet blazer, crushed velvet curtains.
