Black Stretch Velvet – Lano by Modelo Fabrics

Some fabrics feel special from the very first touch—and this black stretch velvet from the Lano range by Modelo Fabrics is one of them.
With its soft, short pile and beautifully matte finish, it has a quiet elegance that works just as well for everyday luxury as it does for something a little more dressed up. The cotton-rich blend gives it a lovely natural feel, while a touch of elastane adds just the right amount of stretch—comfortable, flexible, and flattering to wear.
It drapes gently without feeling heavy, making it a dream for garments that need both softness and structure. Think simple tops with a twist, elegant dresses, or even a cosy-yet-polished lounge piece.
It’s the kind of fabric that makes even the simplest pattern feel a bit more special.
