THe fabric is from a company in England called SHEILA COOMBES.
The name of the fabric is ISTAN,,,it is an exclusive home decor fabric available just to the decorator and designer trade.....I was fortunate to have some smaller cuts...this fabric retails here in Canada for $478.00/Yard...(No, I didn't make a mistake.. :-)
The fabric is 57% Viscose, 31% Cotton, 12% Polyester
I also love velvets - and this one is so beautiful and the handfeel is so rich..it was such a pleasure to work with this one.
