Velvet Fabric Manufacturers and Suppliers in Turkey

Velvet is a woven fabric covered with a cut pile; the pile is formed by the warp yarns (CottonWorks). This page is for buyers looking for velvet for garments and accessories who want to know up front how pile direction, shade variation and cutting waste affect production.

What does the velvet category cover?

Velvets woven from cotton, viscose, polyester, silk and blends of these are searched under this category. The pile-woven family is wide: velveteen and corduroy are also pile fabrics, but their pile is formed by weft yarns. State exactly which one you want in the quote. This page is for velvet fabric suppliers; ready-made products such as pouches, boxes or prayer rugs made from velvet are not in this category. For knitted velvet (velour), see knitted fabrics; for furniture velvet, upholstery fabrics; for velvet curtains, curtains. The general framework is on the woven fabrics page.

In a velvet quote, ask about pile construction, pile direction and lot consistency

• Fiber and composition. Have the percentage written down. All-silk velvet is rare and expensive, and a significant share of products offered as silk velvet blend the silk with viscose or cotton.
• Pile construction. Ask for pile density and height, together with the measuring method. According to CottonWorks, as the density of pile yarns rises, the appearance and handle of the fabric improve.
• Pile direction and shade. Pile direction changes the look: in one direction the surface looks shinier, in the other the color looks deeper. That is why all pieces of a product are cut in the same direction. This constraint can lower marker efficiency; details are in marker planning and waste.
• Lot and roll consistency. Compare shade differences on the sample and between rolls, always keeping the fabric in the same pile direction. Ask for a single order to be supplied from a single lot.
• Durability and fastness. Ask about rubbing fastness and how the pile behaves when crushed. Velvet needs careful pressing, so agree pressing, stacking and shipping conditions with the fabric supplier.
• MOQ, lead time, samples. Velvet is generally produced on special looms that weave two layers at the same time. Get capacity and lead time for special colors and quantities confirmed in writing, and ask for the sample cut in the same pile direction as your order.

In velvet, fiber, pile density and pile height drive the price

Fiber type, pile density and height, weight, dyeing, finishing and lot size set the price. Silk content raises it markedly. In the total cost, also count the extra fabric that one-way cutting requires.

Where are velvet fabric firms in Turkey?

Of the 84 firms with a valid TOBB capacity report for woven pile and chenille fabrics (product code 13.20.41), 67 are in Istanbul (October 2026; TOBB). TOBB is the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey, and a capacity report is a document recording a plant's production capacity. The code does not separate end uses: upholstery velvet and chenille are included, knitted velour is not. Use the province filter for current addresses, and ask whether the firm weaves apparel velvet.

Place velvet on the marker and calculate the one-way allowance

Place the sample on the marker of your own style and calculate fabric consumption with the one-way constraint. For the general calculation method, see how many meters of fabric a garment needs. Get the pressing and washing instructions from the fabric supplier in writing.
