What is velvet?
Velvet is a luxurious, soft fabric characterised by its dense, short pile that gives it a distinctive sheen and plush texture. It catches the light beautifully, creating a rich, opulent look often associated with elegance and sophistication.
Velvet is a woven fabric made by weaving two sets of yarns. This create the dense, soft pile that gives velvet its unique texture.
When you run your hand across its signature raised surface, the pile will change the direction, adding depth and dimension through its light-catching surface, making colours appear richer and more vibrant. It can appear matte or glossy, and pairs beautifully with either blind/clear debossing (as pictured) or metallic accents achieved with our gold, silver and up to 14 foil colour choices for the debossing to truly personalise your velvet photo album cover.
Soft to the touch, Velvet has a subtle shimmer that changes with the light. It evokes a sense of warmth, romance, and indulgence, making it a favourite for wedding details, high-end decor and heirloom albums.
A Tactile Experience Like No Other
The soft texture makes the velvet a real pleasure to the touch and will delight those that love a tactile experience. Couples will love holding this album in their hands!
The Finest Quality Velvet Photo Album
A wedding album is designed to last generations, and not just through a gorgeous cover, but high-definition printing, vibrant colours and pin sharp detail. The fine art paper used in our albums is archival quality designed to last without fading or yellowing. The pages are a thick paper so they are sturdy and won’t bend. The binding allows for lay flat pages for impressive page designs and stunning panoramic images flowing across the double-page.
