Wanja Wide Rib Velvet Corduroy – Upholstery & Dressmaking Fabric

Add texture, colour and luxurious style to your next project with Wanja Wide Rib Velvet Corduroy. This beautifully soft, plush fabric combines the distinctive texture of wide-rib corduroy with the rich, velvety appearance of velvet.

With an impressive 1 cm wide rib, Wanja creates a real statement. The fabric has a wonderfully soft handle, subtle iridescent appearance and excellent structure, making it equally suited to upholstery, home décor, bags and fashion.

With a Martindale abrasion rating of over 90,000 cycles, Wanja offers exceptional durability and is an excellent choice for high-use upholstery projects. For comparison, fabrics with Martindale ratings of around 40,000 cycles are generally considered suitable for very heavy domestic or public use.

The plush ribs can also be positioned in different directions to create interesting changes in colour and texture. Try running the ribs diagonally on clothing or bags for a more contemporary and expressive finish.
