Recycled Velvet Fabric

This upholstery fabric combines hemp and cotton fibers into a material meant for furniture that gets used. The blend brings together the natural strength of hemp with the familiar softness of cotton, woven into a base cloth that can handle the wear furniture actually sees—sitting, leaning, the occasional spill.

The construction uses a 55% hemp and 45% cotton face with a pure cotton backing. Hemp grows without requiring pesticides and uses little water compared to most fiber crops, so the environmental footprint starts lower. Both the hemp and cotton meet organic content standards, and the finished fabric carries OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification, which tests for hundreds of harmful substances. You will not find PFAS treatments or BPA residues here.

The handfeel is soft enough to sit against comfortably, while the weave stays tight enough to resist pilling and tearing under regular use. The fabric breathes, which matters when you spend hours on a sofa or chair. Over time, natural fibers like these tend to soften further rather than stiffen or shed.

Because both hemp and cotton are biodegradable, the fabric can eventually return to soil without leaving synthetic residue. That matters if you care about the end-of-life phase, not just the beginning. The material arrives ready for upholstery projects—reupholstering a chair, recovering cushions, or building furniture from scratch.

Ten color options range from neutrals like Ash and Cashew to bolder tones like Indigo and Seafoam. Each shade is dyed to the same standard, free of the chemical treatments that often accompany stain resistance or water repellency. You trade that convenience for a cleaner composition.
