These are genuine velvet, not the imitation velvet (velveteen, etc…) that you see elsewhere. It’s impossible to match the tactile sensation of real velvet. And also the visual shimmer that makes these unique and precious. It's hard to capture the shimmer of the velvet in these pictures but I assure you that these are incredibly gorgeous bags.
They all come with a drawstring for closing them AND a shoulder strap so if your comparing prices please note that. This a truly versatile and well made bag.
