Synthetic fibers are particularly robust and easy to care for. As dirt cannot penetrate synthetic fibers, it can almost always be removed. In addition, velour made from synthetic fibers is significantly cheaper than velour made from natural fibers. The velvets from fabric groups 61, 63, 65 and 64 Happy Velvet, for example, are synthetic fiber velvets and are suitable for all those who want a robust and durable sofa cover, for example if pets or small children live in the household.

Natural fibers are all fibers of natural origin. Natural fibers are more sensitive to stains than synthetic fibers and are therefore often provided with additional stain protection in our fabric collection. In the Bretz collection, velvets made from natural fibers include, for example, Vintage-Velvet and Bohème Vintage-Velvet fabric groups 64 and 65, both made from viscose. Also in fabric group 70 is the mohair velour made of pure mohair

Blended fabrics are often a great alternative to pure viscose velvets. By adding other yarns, the viscose yarn is “supported” and is therefore much less prone to pressure marks. Viscose blended velour fabrics are, for example, those in fabric categories 66 and 67.
