2 TRY BOLD BACK BOWS

4 MAKE TOUGH TENDER

Velvet velvet, fabric having a soft, thick, short pile, usually of silk, and a plain twill or satin weave ground. The pile surface is formed by weaving an extra set of warp threads that are looped over wires as in Wilton carpet, the rods being withdrawn after the weft  ribbon adds an unexpected touch of sweetness to tougher-feeling pieces like trendy trainers.
