The history of women's velvet trousers

The history of velvet trousers dates back much further than the 1970s, contrary to popular belief. From a luxurious fabric reserved for the nobility to the making of workers' outfits, discover how velvet became one of the most prized materials in the world of women's fashion.

The origins of velvet

Originating from the Kashmir region in the East, velvet gets its name from the Latin villosus, meaning "hairy". This sumptuous silk fabric spread across Europe as early as the 14th century. Intended mainly for the nobility, velvet was democratized at the beginning of the 19th century. Woven at that time from cotton or wool, materials that were more affordable in terms of price, this fabric clothed workers during the Industrial Revolution.

The emergence of velvet trousers in the women's wardrobe

Exclusively reserved for men in the past, velvet trousers now hold a place of choice in the women's wardrobe. Comfort, warmth, durability—velvet has many advantages. This iconic garment reached its peak in the 70s during the women's liberation movement.

Whether vintage, classic, modern, or casual in style, women's velvet trousers never lose their refinement. This timeless product, available in a multitude of cuts and colors, allows every woman to be comfortable in any circumstance while asserting her personality.

How to care for your women's velvet trousers?

To enjoy your velvet trousers for many years, you must take great care of them. Whether made of cotton, wool, or silk, this delicate fabric requires special maintenance. Check the information indicated on the garment's label beforehand.

Our washing tips for your velvet clothes

Professional dry cleaning is highly recommended for cleaning your velvet trousers and other clothing. However, hand washing in cold, soapy water is possible, avoiding rubbing the fabric too much. The majority of our models are also machine washable at 30°C on a delicate cycle.

We advise you to wash your items separately and inside out, without adding fabric softener or bleaching products. Using a tumble dryer may damage your velvet trousers. Prefer air drying. To preserve the colors of your garments for a long time, avoid direct exposure to sunlight.

Ironing smooth, corduroy, or fine-wale velvet trousers

Velvet is a textile that marks easily. Always iron your women's velvet trousers inside out, without exerting strong pressure so as not to crush the fibers. Is your garment slightly wrinkled? Use the steam function of your iron and brush your trousers delicately. Steam helps remove wrinkles gently.

Storing your velvet trousers daily

For storing your velvet trousers, the best option is to hang them. Place them on the trouser rack in your dressing room or wardrobe. Don't have a trouser rack? There are hangers specially designed for this type of clothing. They have a slightly padded bar so as not to mark the fabric. Clamp hangers are also widely used. If your storage space is limited, you can fold your velvet trousers, taking care not to compress them too much to avoid creating crease marks.
